Spread the love

On one of the pages at Sourceforge, the developers are working with Intel on Linux drivers for the Intel PRO/Wireless 2200 and the Intel PRO/Wireless 2915, two network cards 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 1.0.1 and has the following changelog:

  • Fixed #559: iwconfig rate support (thanks to Florian Hackenberger)
    NOTE: Configuring a subset of rates that excludes mandatory rates by your AP may result in not being able to associate with your AP.
  • Improved link signal quality calculation (thanks to Bill Moss)
  • Added additional debug output during scan to dump all 16 bits of capability field to IEEE80211_DL_SCAN output
  • Added support for Intel PRO/Wireless 2225BG Network Connection adapter
  • Removed trailing whitespace on lines in code (thanks to Henrik Brix Andersen)
  • Yanked script trace (-x) from helper scripts (thanks to Henrik Brix Andersen)
  • Fixed a problem with sensitivity threshold during association (thanks to Raphael Slinckx for troubleshooting with me on IRC for three days)
  • Added iwpriv for turning forcing long preamble support: iwpriv eth1 set_preamble 1|0
  • Possible fixes for #542 and #377 support for short preamble
  • Fixed #563 compilation warning on 2.6.11-rc2 (thanks to Henrik Brix Andersen)
  • Fixed locked BSSID reporting channel number (thanks to Pedro Ramalhais)
  • Fixed type-o with scan watchdog timeout message (thanks to Pedro Ramalhais)
  • Changed logic for displaying get_mode output so the code is easier to follow (thanks to Pedro Ramalhais)
  • Added initial support for WPA (thanks to Yi Zhu) — tested with wpa_supplicant (either tip w/ ipw driver, or with -Dipw2100) with both CCMP and TKIP
  • Fixed problem with CCMP not working due to uninitialized 802.11 header fields (thanks to Pedro Ramalhais)
  • Fixed unload script to unload the ieee80211 modules in the correct order
