Linux support for the WLAN part of the Centrino technology
become true. Though not yet officially announced
an Open-Source driver with included firmware
is available at SourceForge.
The driver is still experimental and supposed to work
with 2.4 Kernels as well as with 2.6 ones.
Features like Ad-Hoc-Mode and WEP are not yet implemented. Here are links to Linux installation reports on almost any Centrino laptop and a survey of other Linux drivers and tools for Centrino laptops.”
