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

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?
