Download Driver For Intel PRO/Wireless 2100 1.0.4

On one of the pages at Sourceforge, a number of people are working in collaboration with Intel on Linux drivers for the Intel PRO/Wireless 2100, a network card that can be found in many Centrino laptops. The drivers work on Linux with kernel version 2.6 or higher and 2.4 when patched, and require the Wireless Tools for Linux. The version number has now arrived at 1.0.4 and has the following changelog:

Changes in 1.0.4:

• New logic to attempt to catch hung firmware (possibly caused by bad AP frame received)
• Yanked script trace (-x) from helper scripts (thanks to Henrik Brix Andersen)
• Fixed #407 more completely (thanks to Henrik Brix Andersen)

Changes in 1.0.3:

• Fixed #496 problem with wrong arguments being passed to set_security (thanks to Henrik Brix Andersen)
• Fixed #407 problem with disassociation events not being sent to user space when firmware is being restarted
• Fixed #523 problem with suspend not working (thanks to Stefan Dosinger and Henrik Brix Andersen)
• Fixed #545 type-o in error message (thanks to Henrik Brix Andersen)
• Fixed problem with stats not being usable by non iwconfig wireless tools
• Sync of ieee80211 with ipw2200 v0.22

Changes in 1.0.2:

• Synchronized ieee80211 subsystem w/ ipw2200 v0.18
• Fixed problem with a deadlock when setting the MAC address (thanks to Yi Zhu)
• Fixed problem where enabling HW RF Kill would sometimes result in the driver going into a loop of Disassociate/RF Kill/Associate/repeat.
• Fixed #466 problem with setting RTS hanging
• Fixed #454 problem with MODULE_VERSION not being used (thanks to Brix Andersen)
• Fixed #405 problem with driver not building when CONFIG_IEEE80211_DEBUG not defined

Changes in 1.0.1:

• Fixed #350 problem with user space applications receiving carrier link state changes before the BSSID has been updated after an association
• Fixed #322 Shared Key authentication to support differnet default Tx index keys
• Fixed #360 problem with networks showing up as hidden
• Fixed #326 problem with multicast and broadcast packets being fragmented
• Fixed problem with RF kill switch resulting in driver needing to be reloaded if cycled Off/On/Off multiple times
• Added semaphore to protect the enable/disable command to ensure it can complete successfully.
• Removed calls to reconfigure security if security hasn’t changed
• Added additional debug messages while processing EAP frames in ieee80211_” rel=”external”>rx,tx
• Fixed problem of driver allowing packets to be received before in the associated state.
• Added HW kicking to the hang_check if the hardware has been silent for more than 0.5s.
• Reworked how the driver initializes the ieee80211 subsystem.
• Changed mode change code to schedule an adapter restart vs. invoking it directly. This was needed to be compatible with the semaphore code added.
• Added ability to load WPA modules by load script

Changes in 1.0.0:

• Updated README.ipw2100 and ISSUES
• Stamped the version 1.0.0
