Can't compile ipw2100 driver against 2.6.12 kernel [ FIXED ]

When I try to compile ipw2100 driver, it complains about a function being declared twice in the headers...

Has somebody already experienced such an issue  ?

[EDIT]

Here is a patch I found after some googling :

http://olivier.mondoloni.free.fr/ipw2100_2.6.12.patch

You have to untar the source, cd to the directory created, and :

patch -p1 < ipw2100_2.6.12.patch

the same for ipw2200. obviously they added is_multicast_ether_addr into include/linux/etherdevice.h so it is no longer needed in ipw2200/..../ieee80211.h.
BUT: the one in ipw2200 looks stronger (more restrictive. hm. don't know which one is better).
anyway, i made a patch that removes is_multicast_ether_addr from ieee80211.h. and it seems to work.

That's annoying...

Hopefully a new ipw driver will be released soon...
