Hi guys, I'm the udev maintainer for Arch Linux, and we have been running into some problems with the ipw2200 driver[0]. This was most probably exposed by changes in recent versions of udev, as outlined here [1] (so will eventually hit the other distros when they upgrade). I see that the ipw2x00 drivers are listed as Orphaned in MANTAINERS, and I notice that 2000-series Wireless-N support was added to iwlagn. Does this mean that we (as a dristro) should drop the ipw2x00 driver in favor of iwlagn, or do they actualy support different hardware? I was not able to find any reference to 2000-series Wireless-N chips on intel.com, so I'm not really sure what hardware this "Intel(R) Centrino(R) Wireless-N 2200D BGN" is referring to (if it is not [2]. Furthermore, I noticed that the modaliases of the two drivers do not overlap, which should indicate that they do not support the same hardware, is that correct? If we are not able to drop the 2x00 drivers, are anyone still interested in working on them to fix the firmware loading? Any help appreciated.
