[Announce] Driver for Intel PRO/Wireless 2100 (Centrino)

["Damien Bergamini" <damien.bergamini%free.fr@localhost>]

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:

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
