ipw2200 driver in kernels 3+

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Hi, my apologies if I am sending this email to the wrong place.

I recently started toying with an old Dell laptop that uses the very
old ipw2200 intel network driver/firmware mentioned above.

I think support for this item remains in the kernel, as indicated by
the continued existence of
/linux/drivers/net/wireless/ipw2X00/ipw2200.c and ipw2200.h and
corresponding firmware. However, the menuconfig option to select this
driver seems to have disappeared sometime after kernel 3.4.104, which
is the last longterm version I can see that allows me to include the
driver in my build.

Is it possible to have the option made available again? I realize the
request is trivial but think it's worth mentioning, having lost a few
hairs trying to understand what was going on  :)

Cheers,

Frank
