I'm pleased to announce the first release of a native FreeBSD 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 at http://damien.bergamini.free.fr/ipw/ The ipw driver works under FreeBSD 5.2 and later. It currently supports infrastructure mode only (connection through an access point). IBSS (adhoc) mode , WEP and power management are not yet supported but the driver is under active development. The driver will also be ported to NetBSD and OpenBSD. 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 FreeBSD IEEE 802.11 network layer wlan(4) 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
