after kernel upgrade ipw2200 is gone [solved]

I upgraded the kernel with a -Suy and now my ipw2200 driver is gone.  Does this mean it hasn't yet been updated for the new kernel?  Is it possible to use the one in testing temporarily? (if so, how would I do it?)

I only have access from Arch wirelessly over the weekend so this is a big bummer. sad

Re: after kernel upgrade ipw2200 is gone [solved]

just grab the PKGBUILD and build it yourself agains the running kernel - it's as simple as "abs", "cd /to/ipw/dir", "makepkg -i"

Wow.. that did it.  And it was way simpler than I could have imagined too.  Thank you SO much!

Re: after kernel upgrade ipw2200 is gone [solved]

I lost my wireless connection a while back. Two things had changed within a day. Firstly, I switched to udev, and then later on I installed Dibbles cko patched kernel. I'm guessing therefore that either one, or both, were responisble for losing wireless support.

Now I want it back. In the past, I had the ipw2200 module loaded fine after installing it via pacman and then being picked up by hotplug. Assuming it's a kernel issue, I followed phrak's advice above and rebuilt the module, but I got this:

ERROR: ieee80211.h not found in '/lib/modules/2.6.12-cko2-swsusp2/include'.

 You need to install the ieee80211 subsystem from http://ieee80211.sf.net
 and point this build to the location where you installed those sources, eg.:

 % make IEEE80211_INC=/usr/src/ieee80211/

 will look for ieee80211.h in /usr/src/ieee80211/net/

make: *** [check_inc] Error 1
install: cannot stat `*.ko': No such file or directory

The ieee80211 package is installed too. Does this need to be rebuilt too?

Any suggestions? Ta.

To answer my question, yes, ieee80211 did need to be rebuilt! Once done, rebuilding ipw2200 worked fine and I've just modprobed the ipw2200 module. So, all should be well.
