ipw2100 uder hurd?
While in the compatibility list I don't read anything about bcm5702x
ethernet card, neither about wireless ones (the 2 network cards I'm
interested on), when looking at:
ftp://ftp.debian.org/debian/dists/unstable/contrib/binary-hurd-i386/Packages
It looks like the ipw2100 source is available for debian gnu/hurd. Is
this just a mistaken interpretation I'm performing? Please notice the
following package included:

Description: source for the ipw2100 driver
This package provides the source code for the ipw2100 kernel modules.
Intel PRO/Wireless 2100 (IPW2100) mini PCI adapter is a common component
of Centrino notebooks.
.
In order to compile these modules you need the kernel sources (or the
kernel-headers for the kernel-image packages from Debian). For compile
instructions look into /usr/share/doc/ipw2100-source/README.Debian or
simply use the module-assistant utility.
.
The project's homepage can be found here:
http://ipw2100.sourceforge.net

Is it posible to compile ipw2100 driver under hurd and to make it work
under hurd as well? I don't think hurd has a module conception for
the kernel as under linux, so I think this was just a package dropped
from linux distribution, but what on earth, I had to ask just in case,
:-)... Maybe it's just a mistake in the package list...
Thx,
