i bookmarked it: you're referring to an article from theinquirer.net (www.theinquirer.net/?article=12207). and the driver it referred to was called DriverLoader (www.linuxant.com/driverloader/). it's not a native driver, though, but essentially a "wrapper" for Linux using Intel's own NDIS driver. unfortunately, it's not free ($19.95). fortunately, there's an evaluation copy (which i have yet to install and test). but if it works well enough, it'll be much cheaper than buying an external Wi-card with native Linux support IF the intel driver won't be appearing anytime soon. Intel says the driver is "still under development" (www.intel.com/support/notebook/centrino/sb/cs-006059-prd955.htm). it felt silly signing a petition (www.petitiononline.com/xanthan/petition.html) to "push" intel to create a native Linux driver. wish us luck. anyway, to fellow Centrino owners out there, check out http://tuxmobil.org/centrino.html -- one of the more useful sites i found on Linux resources specifically for Centrino users. regards, dan -- Philippine Linux Users' Group (PLUG) Mailing List [EMAIL PROTECTED] (#PLUG @ irc.free.net.ph) Official Website: http://plug.linux.org.ph Searchable Archives: http://marc.free.net.ph .
