The built as external module works fine, but I wonder why the
patched kernel sources not works. If I use the old iwl3945-1.1.19
with the 2.6.23.13 tree, the built process works in the kernel.

I see the patch_kernel script in 1.2.23 have the deprecated state.
But when I do the patch_kernel after a make in the 1.2.23 source tree,
the files are in the kernel source tree under driver/net/wireless
including Kconfig and Makefile.=20
But the module wasn't built. This makes me wonder...

Thanks
Mario
