The firmware is the problem: <http://ipw2200.sourceforge.net/firmware.php?fid=7> - I don't think we want to distribute that (we seem to be allowed to do so under certain conditions, but my legalese sucks, especially the english dialect of it). Yes, that sucks. And I'm sure their excuse is "FCC regulations". > If running your wireless on Linux is important to you, complain to the > laptop manufacturer so that they will put in devices that support linux > properly out of the box. Well, it's just a firmware download away, normally. Cheers, Ralph
