This issue is specific to neither suspend2-sources nor ipw2200. You hit the
same issue with any other kernel if you emerge ieee80211. From the ieee80211
ebuild:
eerror "Your kernel source contains an incompatible version of the"
eerror "ieee80211 subsystem, which needs to be removed before"
eerror "${P} can be installed. This can be accomplished by running:"
eerror
eerror " # /bin/sh ${FILESDIR}/remove-old ${KV_DIR}"
if [ "${KV_DIR}" != "${KV_OUT_DIR}" ]; then
eerror " # /bin/sh ${FILESDIR}/remove-old ${KV_OUT_DIR}"
fi
eerror
eerror "Please note that this will make it impossible to use some of the"
eerror "in-kernel IEEE 802.11 wireless LAN drivers (eg. orinoco)."
You ran the script and you were warned. The ieee80211 ebuild is depended upon
by four external, wireless net drivers: ipw{2100,2200,3945} and rt2x00.
