In samenwerking met Intel is op Sourceforge een project aan de gang om een Linux driver te schrijven voor de Intel PRO/Wireless 2100 Network Connection mini PCI adapter waar veel laptops, zoals bijvoorbeeld de Thinkpad T4x-serie van IBM, mee zijn uitgerust. Zojuist is dit project aangekomen bij versie 0.50 en de release notes laten de volgende wijzigingen zien:
Changes in 0.50:NOTE: Firmware was upgraded with this release. You can obtain the latest firmware from http://ipw2100.sf.net/firmware.php.
- Modified the way that Link Quality is calculated
- Fixed code so it would compile with gcc 2.95 (thanks to Victor Orlikowski)
- Fixed code from using default workqueue to using a custom workqueue. This will (hopefully) fix any issues with keyboard craziness (thanks to Stefan Dosinger)
- Changed the power setting interface to use iwpriv mechanism that more accurately maps to the power management support of the ipw2100 (thanks to An-Cheng Huang) See README.ipw2100 for information on the power interface.
- Added support code for WPA information element setting (untested) NOTE: This does not enable WPA; it just provides the hooks so that WPA support can be added.
- Updated firmware to 1.2 with a potential fix for firmware restarts in areas of heavy RF interference (thanks to Mikolaj Kolakowski) NOTE: This means you need to update your firmware from http://ipw2100.sf.net/firmware.php with the version for ipw2100 v0.50+.
