On one of the pages at Sourceforge, the developers are working with Intel on Linux drivers for the Intel PRO/Wireless 2200 and the Intel PRO/Wireless 2915, two network cards found in some Centrino laptops. The drivers work on Linux with kernel version 2.6.4 or higher and require the Wireless Tools for Linux† The version number has now arrived at 1.0.3 and has the following changes:

  • Fix #609 problem if SUSPEND2 included on kernels that do not support the _BUILTIN defines.
  • Fix #556 by changing ‘make install’ target path to /lib/modules/`uname -r`/drivers/net/wireless instead of /lib/modules/`uname -r`/kernel/drivers/net/wireless
  • Fix #616 problem with OOPS on module load (thanks to Yi Zhu)
  • Fixed problem with led module parameter being described as ‘auto_create’
  • Added support to merge between adhoc networks (thanks to Mohamed Abbas)
  • Added semaphore lock at the driver’s entry points to protect against re-entry (thanks to Mohamed Abbas)
  • Added semaphore lock to background scheduled driver actions (thanks to Mohamed Abbas)
  • Changed how signal quality is reported for scan output (thanks to Peter Jones)
  • Fixed how high/low clamp values ​​of signal quality are reported so a more consistent ramp is provided (thanks to Bill Moss)
  • Fix #624 problem with duplicate addresses (again) (thanks to Bernard Blackham)
  • Fix #385 problem with fragmentation and certain sized packets (thanks to Mohamed Abbas)
  • Moved ieee80211.h and ieee80211_crypt.h into ./net so that the reference to their include location does not differ from that of the ieee80211 subsystem provided by netdev-2.6
  • Merged latest netdev-2.6 changes to ieee80211 subsystem into driver
  • Modified iwconfig network name if RF kill is enabled to say ‘radio off’
  • Fix #382 problem with driver not responding to probe requests in Ad-Hoc mode (thanks to Mohamed Abbas)
