Intel brengt al enkele maanden open source drivers uit voor zijn PRO/Wireless 2100-producten, welke in Centrino-gebaseerde laptops zijn terug te vinden. Deze drivers werken alleen op Linux met kernelversie 2.4.23 en 2.6.1 of hoger, en vereisen Wireless Tools for Linux en de IPW2100 firmware-image om hun werk te kunnen doen. De release notes delen de volgende wijzigingen mee:
NOTE: If you are using 2.4 and want to also use WEP you will need to upgrade to 2.4.26.Known issues in 0.49
- Fixed TX stall with MTU at 1500 (bug 133)
- Wrapped a few printk()'s in IPW2100_DEBUG macros so that they are not filling the logs if you don't want to see them (bug 139)
- Removed av5100 and pbe5 modules from the IPW2100 project. If you require one of those modules you will need to obtain them from the RF Switch project (http://rfswitch.sf.net)
- If C3 is enabled, you may occassionally see "Packet Payload Too Large" messages in your kernel log, followed by a firmware reset. A temporary work around is to disable the C3 low power state (either via the patch on the website to processor.c or by unloading the ACPI processor module).
- If you use Monitor mode, make sure you take down the interface first:
% ifconfig eth1 down
% iwconfig eth1 mode monitor
% iwconfig eth1 up
Users have reported that failure do to so frequently does strange things with the keyboard.
