  • Intel PRO/Wireless 2200 BG Mini-PCI Adapter from IBM
  • 802.11b/g Intel wireless card

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.
