Hi,
I never did get Intel wireless networking working with 2.6.13.x.
I just tried with kernel 2.6.14, and I get compilation errors when I try
to emerge
ieee80211. It complained about lots of incompatible ieee80211 filles in
the Linux kernel sources, but still failed when I removed the
complained-about files
by hand. The most recent error messages looked like this
The 2.6.14 kernel includes the ipw2100 & ipw2200 drivers, so you do not
need to merge the external drivers or ieee80211, just the firmware.
However, I think the in-kernel version is lagging slightly behind the
external version. For my ipw2200, the external version loads firmware
version 2.4, while the in-kernel version loads v2.2.
Fortunately both work for me, so I don't care. If you want to try
2.6.14, just enable:

<M> Generic IEEE 802.11 Networking Stack
<M> IEEE 802.11 WEP encryption
Device Drivers --->

Wireless LAN (non-hamradio) --->

Good luck,
