In 2 days I didn't found a working patch, and when I saw radiotap was enable in kernel 2.6.29, I thought package wasn't necessary. So, in my comment change "obsolete" with "doesn't work/useless". Try to build the package. It doesn't build, and if it builds, it doesn't work because needs also a patched version of ieee80211, which I don't find on aur. As I hope you know, package are removed from AUR but not physically: http://aur.archlinux.org/packages/ipw2200-inject/ If you or someone else do a working pkgbuild please upload it on AUR, otherwise package who not work are useless on AUR. IMO. -- Andrea `BaSh` Scarpino Arch Linux Developer
