Aren't there licensing issues with the Intel firmware? How come Ubuntu can ship with the IPW firmware?I do not know if Ubuntu (6.06/6.10) ships with IPW firmware. From experience,On 10/31/06, Pablo Manalastas < [EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:
I am sticking to Ubuntu for my second-hand Dell Inspiron 6000,
since FC6 does not have support for the Intel Pro/Wireless ipw2200

etc. and build from sources, just to get wireless under FC6. That is
too much hassle for me.
I know that 6.06/6.10 has support for the Intel Pro/Wireless ipw2200 that works
immediately after installation, whereas, I had to download all of ipw2200 /
ieee80211 / intel firmware, in order to get FC6 to even recognize my Intel Pro /
Wireless. Let's ask Jerome Gotamco. Maybe he knows if Ubuntu has Intel
firmware built into 6.06./6.10. Jerome?
