ipw3945 compile problems with latest kernel 2.6.18-1.2849.fc6

[Mike Cohler]

I have found some more info .... with the iwconfig command and using driver 1.1.2
I see that the ESSID:"mdcx" appears rather than "mdc" - and this may be related
to the "last char missing" problem that was related in other posts eg at
http://news.gmane.org/gmane.linux.drivers.ipw3945.devel

Also in the same list I see that there are other postings on the topic that
the "driver will not associate with AP".....

so maybe there is an avenue for investigation here....

If anyone who has been following this thread can suggest a simple fix/patch
then I would be delighted to hear it.
