=== Linux WiFi driver ===
This adapter works with the [[ipw2200]] driver. Make sure you have installed the firmware! The ipw2200 documentation will tell you where to find these firmware files and where to install those.

'''Note:''' The [[ipw2200]] driver up to version 1.0.6 (in combination with some newer kernels) had a problem getting DHCP leases (it turned out to be a bug in the broadcasting code). Version 1.0.7 seems to have fixed this.

'''Note:''' The [[ipw2200]] driver versions that were installed by default with Mandriva 2006, SUSE 10.0 and Kubuntu 5.1 all caused my T43 to freeze after several minutes of intensive communication. Installing the latest ieee80211+firmware+driver (driver version 1.1.3, firmware 3.0) from the web solved the problem.
