I'm pleased to announce the first release of a native NetBSD driver for the Intel(R) PRO/Wireless 2100 802.11b network adapter (a core component of the Intel(R) Centrino technology). You can download the driver here: http://damien.bergamini.free.fr/ipw/ The ipw driver currently supports NetBSD 1.6.2 only. It will be ported to 2.0 soon. The ipw driver is distributed under the BSD License. It is not a port of the Intel(R) ipw2100 driver for Linux but a complete rewriting from scratch. It uses the NetBSD IEEE 802.11 network layer and the adapter can be configured with the ifconfig(8) and the ipwcontrol(8) commands. As stated above, this is a first release and the driver is under active development so do not expect too much stability from it. Best regards, Damien Bergamini
