the change for 2.6 is wrong, because the driver didn't depends on
FW_LOADER, it has to select it.

	depends on PCI && NET_RADIO && EXPERIMENTAL
	select FW_LOADER

For 2.4 this is a little bit more complex and you need a Makefile trick
to do it. See drivers/bluetooth/ for an example.

BTW I don't think that we need an extra directory under .../wireless. We
can put all files directly into it, because they all have a isl* prefix.
