Subject: [OS2Wireless] Linux driver for Intel Centrino

There's one huge advantage miniPCI devices like the
Intel ProWireless/2011 have over regular PCCard
devices: a lot less of power consumption.  That is,
you will be able to use a full-charged notebook
battery longer with miniPCI than with PCMCIA.

Best regards, JB.
