Packages

Status

In development but usable. Version 1.0.5 works quite well with kernel 2.6.10.

Additional Comments

Make sure to try the newest version. You will need to install the loadable binary firmware provided on http://ipw2100.sourceforge.net/firmware.php as required by the driver.

To turn off the radio on boot-up load ipw2100 with option disable=1, i.e. # modprobe ipw2100 disable=1.
