Dear James,
I just had some issues when trying to compile ieee80211 1.2.15 together with
ipw3945 1.1.2 on the latest kernel tree
attached are two patches I had to create to work around it
I guess they are self-explanatory :-)
greets
mlo

I think you should not recreate linux/config.h but remove the reference to
it...

You don't have to.
The one in .19-rc5 is new enough (the one in .18 too AFAIK)
I have successfully run ipw3945 with FC6 using the ieee80211 stack from the kernel
I just had to compile with:
make IEEE80211_API=2 EXTRA_CFLAGS=-DIEEE80211_API_VERSION=2
and ln autoconf.h to config.h
HTH,
steve
