Hi,

Well I guess I should work 3x longer before i write to the list.  I have
gotten the patched version from
http://bellet.info/~bellet/laptop/t40.html running.  It works great,
iwconfig works even!  
Sorry for the spam to the list, all is solved :)

A quick play-by-play for those who are intrested.

1. Download the airo-linux driver from the cvs.
http://sourceforge.net/projects/airo-linux

2. Download the patch from http://bellet.info/~bellet/laptop/t40.html

3.  Copy airo.h from the airo-linux cvs to
/usr/src/linux/drivers/net/wireless

4.  Copy the patched version (airo_mpi.o) from bellet to the same place.

5.  Edit /usr/src/linux/drivers/net/wireless/Makefile.  Add airo_mpi.o
to the "export-objs" list.  Add to the makefile obj-m += airo_mpi.o

6. make dep && make modules modules_install 

7.  modprobe airo_mpi  

8.  Enjoy your wireless card with wireless extensions.

Maybe this was obvious, but it was not to me.
