Subject: [OS2Wireless] Linux driver for Intel Centrino

Jens might have an idea on this, Mark. OTOH, I haven't seen any real 
performance benchmarks on Centrino Wi-Fi vs the more traditional cards 
("traditional" is a funny word here, isn't it? I mean...what...two or 
three years since the technology has become widespread...? ;-) ). It 
might be a situation akin to finding WinModem drivers, only to discover 
that the performance of the hardware is so p-ss-poor that you'd be 
better off with a PCMCIA card.
