There is a Linux driver: http://ipw3945.sourceforge.net It's not in the kernel yet, but various distributions are already packaging it. > > and firmware. > > I have the latest BIOS for this machine, if that's what you mean. No, you have to download firmware for various devices, your wireless card included, to be able to use them. Firmware is different from BIOS since it's meant for your wireless card, not your laptop in general. Think of BIOS as firmware for your laptop only, but other devices might need their own.
