The project has been created and is hosted at http://ipw2100.sf.net. The driver, as it currently stands, is able to associate and communicate in Infrastructure mode. Support for both 2.4 and 2.6 is available. We are releasing this driver now as "early beta" code to get feedback and help in the development, so expect bugs (and please report them)! Of course Intel will continue the effort (as part of this Open Source project). We are planning to add support of all key wireless features (adhoc, WEP, etc) over the next few months, quicker with help from others in the community. NOTE: Let me reiterate -- this driver is in active development. Features and capabilities available on other operating systems have not all been implemented at this time. This includes wireless features (adhoc, wep) as well as performance and power savings. I look forward to working with the community to improve and enhance the driver. So if you have an Intel wireless 802.11b miniPCI network adapter in your laptop... download the bits, give it a whirl, and let me know how it goes. Please also let us know if you encounter any problems that may be related to specific distributions.
