Actually, that depends quite a bit on which Intel card you have. Anything based on the Poulsbo chipset will be poorly supported. Intel can't release programmer specs for this card due to third party IP being included in its design. However, cards based on many of their other chipsets are well supported by the open source driver - Intel can and does provide full programmer specs for these cards, and they also participate in their development.
