The ipw2100 and ipw2200 project source code is available as a GIT repository overlay. An overlay is a GIT repository that does not contain all of the objects needed to build a full tree from itself. Instead, it contains only those objects that differ from the tree from which the repository was derived.

The development repository for the ipw2100 and ipw2200 projects is referred to as 'ipw-dev'.

The current location for the ipw-dev GIT overlay is:

rsync://bughost.org/repos/ipw-delta/.git/

You can easily obtain the full GIT tree, including all required objects, by running the following:

% rsync rsync://bughost.org/repos/scripts/git-grab-overlay .
% ./git-grab-overlay rsync://bughost.org/repos/ipw-delta/.git/ ipw-dev/

The first line will download a script that automates the process of walking the repository ancestor tree and fetching the objects needed for each of the parent trees.

The second line executes the git-grab-overlay script which will connect to the target overlay repository (first parameter) and build a full repository in the directory specified by the second parameter.

You can examine the parental lineage of the tree by looking in the ancestors file:

cat .git/refs/ancestors

As you can tell by the contents of that file, the ipw-dev GIT overlay is derived from the ieee80211-dev GIT overlay, which is in turn derived from netdev-2.6#ieee80211 branch.

You can re-run the git-grab-overlay script at a later time with the same parameters to obtain the latest version of the sources available.
