Wow, great news on this rainy saturday! ;-)

The driver works perfectly, I'm writing this mail via wireless link.
However there are two things to note:

The driver generates two network devices. The second one is for promicious
mode? Is there any chance to disable the interface? ifrename renamed the
wrong one to wlan0 and I had to tell my system to use eth1 for the wireless
connection.

Second problem is that I can't unload the module. I get the message "FATAL:
Module iwlwifi is in use." even if both interfaces are down.

Oh, I forgot one note: "make patch_kernel" is terribly broken. Any chance to get this fixed soon?
confirmed on my box it resulted in deleting all kernel modules.
(had to reinstall the kernel)
(make modules in /lib/modules/`uname -r`/build after make patch_kernel)
this was on fc6 x86_64
