Download Driver For Intel PRO/Wireless 2100 0.50

In collaboration with Intel, a project is underway on Sourceforge to write a Linux driver for the Intel PRO/Wireless 2100 Network Connection mini PCI adapter that many laptops, such as the Thinkpad T4x series from IBM, are equipped with. This project just arrived at version 0.50 and the release notes show the following changes:

Changes in 0.50:

NOTE: Firmware was upgraded with this release. You can obtain the latest firmware from †
• Modified the way that Link Quality is calculated
• Fixed code so it would compile with gcc 2.95 (thanks to Victor Orlikowski)
• Fixed code from using default workqueue to using a custom workqueue. This will (hopefully) fix any issues with keyboard craziness (thanks to Stefan Dosinger)
• Changed the power setting interface to use iwpriv mechanism that more accurately maps to the power management support of the ipw2100 (thanks to An-Cheng Huang) See README.ipw2100 for information on the power interface.
• Added support code for WPA information element setting (untested) NOTE: This does not enable WPA; it just provides the hooks so that WPA support can be added.
• Updated firmware to 1.2 with a potential fix for firmware restarts in areas of heavy RF interference (thanks to Mikolaj Kolakowski) NOTE: This means you need to update your firmware from with the version for ipw2100 v0.50+.
