Download Driver For Intel PRO/Wireless 2100 1.0.5

On one of the pages at Sourceforge, a number of people are working in collaboration with Intel on Linux drivers for the Intel PRO/Wireless 2100, a network card that can be found in many Centrino laptops. The drivers work on Linux with kernel version 2.6.4 or higher and require the Wireless Tools for Linux† The version number has now arrived at 1.0.5 and has the following changelog:

• Trivial type-o fix (thanks to Giuseppe Della Ricca)
• Fixed #532 problem with ‘iwpriv eth1 reset’ not working
• Fixed #560 removing ifname module parameter — you should use the ifrename network tools for naming the device (thanks to Henrik Brix Andesen)
• Fixed #558 changing use of printk() to IEEE80211_DEBUG_DROP
• Fixed #564 compilation warning on 2.6.11-rc2 (thanks to Henrik Brix Andersen)
• Removed legacy firmware loading support — you now need to use hotplug to load the firmware.
• Possible fix for #170 problem of scans not always showing up
• Changed location of ‘make install’ for ipw2100 module to drivers/net/wireless instead of drivers/net/wireless/ipw2100
• Synchronized ieee80211 with ipw2200 1.0.1
• Changed CONFIG_IPW_PROMISC => CONFIG_IPW_MONITOR to remove confusion on what the feature is
