Re: [Nolug] Wireless Linux Drivers?

What's really notable about this is the fact that the wrapper is open
source; people had been using the Linuxant wrapper to do the same thing up
until recently, especially on the Centrino cards.

So in this race for Linux support, we have an independent software vendor
being first to market, then the OSS community right on its heels. And
speaking of heels, Intel is still dragging theirs over this, they've
recently announced that a driver is indevelopment for Centrino cards, but
no details or release date is available.

BTW--which BC card did you get? I just ordered an I8600, and sprung for
the True Mobile 1300, which is b/g IIRC, where the Intel 2100 is just b.
But they are both BC chipsets I believe.
