Well, it Works For Me(tm). The procedure for getting iwlwifi up and running is 
slightly different from the older driver, but it definitely works (with a few 
known bugs, admittedly, such as poor LED indicator support). 

I would never choose a wifi chip other than Intel, so I want to say both 1) it 
shouldn't present compatibility problems, and 2) encourage anyone who's had 
such problems to post them here, along with what they've done, so that if 
these *are* serious problems, I can stop suggesting Intel wifi. Because 
otherwise, I plan to suggest that.
