http://ipw2100.sourceforge.net/
Packages
- Fedora Packages(1): Fedora Core includes the ipw2100-drivers in FC3 (with updates) and FC4. You still need to grab the firmware from http://rpm.livna.org/
- Fedora Packages(2): http://www.atrpms.net/name/ipw2100/
- Mandrake Packages: modules included in stock kernel packages
- Debian Packages: http://packages.debian.org/ipw2100-source or inclueded in the kernel package (since 2.6.14 (?))
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.
