Sadly, that was not my experience. Make no mistake -- the ipw2100 driver loaded properly.
It's just that NetworkManager could not associate with the AP on many, many cases, leaving me to type and re-type the WPA shared key many many times. One time I was in SG and I desperately needed the wireless to work (was in training, needed to access a remote box) and it wouldn't work. That REALLY pissed me off. Maybe it's gotten better.. but then again I use Windows on my notebook these days. (and two notebooks is too much for my back) On Wed, Apr 1, 2009 at 5:41 PM, Jerome Gotangco <[email protected]> wrote: > On Wed, Apr 1, 2009 at 5:31 PM, John Peter Loh <[email protected]> wrote: >> On Wed, Apr 1, 2009 at 16:43, Orlando Andico <[email protected]> wrote: >>> Personally I've soured on the Linux desktop (after many years of using >>> a Linux desktop... starting with Slackware 3.0) because support for >>> Intel Wireless is so cranky / unreliable! >> >> The ipw2100 firmware and driver is already included in many distros as >> a kernel module.
