RE: IPW2100



What version of the kernel are you using? (Sorry if you've mentioned
this earlier.)

Personally, I compile IPW2100 from source, cause I didn't realize there
was a package, and it works now, so I'm not changing anything. But I did
have some issues with it and kernel 2.6.8 behaving strangely.

Hey all,

Apr 12 10:13:59 localhost kernel: ipw2100: Intel(R) PRO/Wireless 2100
Network Driver, 1.1.0
Apr 12 10:13:59 localhost kernel: ipw2100: Copyright(c) 2003-2004
Intel Corporation

now I'm not sure why but I didn't notice anything special or unique.

This is weird and quite frustrating.  I would think it's a hardware
issue but it works fine in windows.  I also recently update the bios
to help solve the issues, still no clue.
