Hey, I'm just wondering if anyone has had any luck getting one of these cards working under linux. I'm running either 2.4.22 or 2.6.0-test7 on a Dell Inspiron 500M, which has the Intel Pro/Wireless 2100 MiniPCI card in-built. This is a centrino laptop, and most other bits and pieces are working fine under both the above kernels (Intel Extreme Graphics, Sound, 10/100 NIC). The following URL gives some small bit of information about the chipset in the second last paragraph: <quote from http://www.spectrumresellers.com/publications/page207-480299.asp> The Intel PRO/Wireless 2100 LAN MiniPCI Adapter consists of Intel-developed silicon that supports the 802.11b MAC, an 802.11b baseband chip that is the result of an Intel and Symbol Technologies(a) Joint Development Agreement (JDA) and utilizes technology designed and manufactured by Texas Instruments (TI)(a), and an 802.11b radio chip supplied by Royal Philips Electronics(a). </quote> I have already tried the spectrum_cs and orinoco(_cs) drivers with no luck. If anyone has any information about this, can you please let me know. On the other hand, if I can be of assistance in writing a driver for this device, can someone point me in the right direction as to what I should be writing / hacking as I've never done any kernel hacking before. I've attached output from lspci -v for the card in question. If you need anything else, let me know. Also, can you cc me in replies as I'm not a subscriber. -- Chat ya later, John. -- BOFH excuse #1: clock speed
