In 2 days I didn't found a working patch, and when I saw radiotap was
enable in kernel 2.6.29, I thought package wasn't necessary.

So, in my comment change "obsolete" with "doesn't work/useless".

Try to build the package. It doesn't build, and if it builds, it
doesn't work because needs also a patched version of ieee80211, which
I don't find on aur.

As I hope you know, package are removed from AUR but not physically:
http://aur.archlinux.org/packages/ipw2200-inject/

If you or someone else do a working pkgbuild please upload it on AUR,
otherwise package who not work are useless on AUR. IMO.
