Noted that 'strings ipw2200.ko | less' on
kernel-2.6.11-1.1166_FC4 now
shows:
<6>ipw2200: Intel(R) PRO/Wireless 2200/2915 Network Driver, 1.0.0
so I think it's time to say, "Thank you very much."
Just a quick question. Was there a reason why the ipw2200 drivers
weren't updated to 1.0.1, instead of 1.0.0?
A look at a changes from 1.0.0 to 1.0.1 seem worthwhile and it was
released on Feb 08, 05 so should be well tested.
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.
