Zadeva: [OS2Wireless] Linux driver for Intel Centrino
Datum: Tue, 13 Apr 2004 17:12:18 -0400
Za: os2-wireless_users@2rosenthals.com

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.

I never saw this post come through so I'm resending to see if the list is

I haven't seen any posts here for a bit so I thought I'd post something.

There is now a Linux driver from a Canadian company for Intel's Centrino
wireless card.  Since its proprietary, there is no source so it doesn't
help OS/2. :-(

<http://www.infoworld.com/article/04/02/25/HNlinuxdriver_1.html>

The article does say "General manager of software and solutions at Intel,
Will Swope, recently said a Centrino-Linux driver was coming first in a
proprietary format and then open source once it's found out how to hide
the workings of its wireless technology. He refused however to give any
dates."  Does this mean there will never be an Intel centrino wireless
driver for OS/2?
