Hi,
does anyone know anything more than "Intel have a driver internally, depending
who you ask, and might release it at at unspecified time, if they feel like
it" about the Centrino wireless adapter (Intel PRO/Wireless 2100 LAN MiniPCI
Adapter).
I've heard several interesting rumours along those lines, but nothing more.
Just wondering if anyone knows about or is working on support for this
device.
thanks in advance,
Andrew

That is about the sum of it. I sent e-mails to Scott McLaughlin at Intel
and he said he forwarded my queries and comments to some internal team
looking into what they were doing.
From what I can gather, there is little happening from Intel to make the
drivers available.

Not heard anything, will let you/LKML know if I hear anything.

I am also working on getting something to address this issue.

I just had a response from Mr McLaughlin at Intel. They appear to have a
centrino team where all requests about/for the drivers are forwarded to
to gauge the interest in the drivers.
A guess is that the more people are interested in the drivers, the
bigger the chance that they some day will become available, one way or
another. I have made my interest known to Intel, not sure I could do any
more than that. (Not really got any close pals in Oregon...)
