Nice. Applied to 2.6.2 without problems.

Machine: Acer TravelMate 803LCI with Intel PRO/Wireless 2100.

I've tried the driver out, and here are some remarks:

1. When loading the driver, it outputs this:

ipw2100: Intel(R) PRO/Wireless 2100 Network Driver, 0.0.29
ipw2100: Copyright(c) 2003-2004 Intel Corporation
Detected ipw2100 PCI device at 0000:02:04.0, dev: eth%%d, mem: 0xD0206000-0xE498BFFF -> e498b000, irq: 10

I guess the eth%%d is just cosmetic, still, it looks ugly.

2. When you load the module, and immediately rmmod it, you get an oops:

3. Loading av5100 on this machine shows the line "Turning radio ON" which afterwards deadlocks my machine.
It does show that 'device is disabled by hardware RF switch', but the led is lit which shows that it's enabled instead. 
Weird.

I can't test the actual transmitting since I've got no accesspoint handy. Will do so when at home, though.

Otherwise: great work, and thanks for finally releasing this driver!
