[Grml] ipw2200 monitor mode

[carli graph]

thank you for that fast answer.

now i've upgraded the hole distro, but monitor mode won't work.
if i use modinfo, the module seems to use the driver from 2.6.16-kernel.

what i have to do now ? do i have to recompile the module, or how to load
the correct version of the module ?

thanks, again...
