Hi All,
I want to buy a Intel=AE PRO/Wireless 3945ABG mini-pci Card for my Lapt=
op.
I use Debian Etch as Operating System.
My Questions,
Is there a driver in the 2.6.23 Kernel for this Card?
Or will there be a Driver in the Future in the Kernel integrated?
Or do i have to download and install the Driver by Hand?
If there is still a Driver in the Kernel 2.6.23, then is this Driver
stable?
I didn't find this Driver with the menuconfig Tool.

merged in latest linus,
we backported an earlier version in prebuild 2.6.23 snapshots see
trunk apt lines -> http://wiki.debian.org/DebianKernel

Also if you want to try the latest with your current kernel by only
compiling the drivers (not the entire kernel):
http://linuxwireless.org/download/compat-wireless-2.6/compat-wireless-2.6.tar.bz2
I haven't tested this on 2.6.23 yet though, if you do, please let me
know how it goes.

Note that the 3945 is *not* a mini-PCI card, it is a PCI Express mini
card:

Make sure you've got the right slot before you buy.
