Every EL4 kernel update changes the kernel API/ABI and therefore each
time one needs to check what has been backported from newer kernels
and adjust the checks in ipw* projects.

If you like and want to invest the time, you can try building from
source and examine the spots where the build breaks due to assuming
kernel 2.6.9 (not) having some features. If you collate a patch I'd be
happy to reroll ipw2100 kmdls for 2.6.9-42.0.3 again.
