chipset. So finally all three parts of the Centrino technology are supported.
The driver also supports WLAN chipsets made by Atheros, Broadcom, Intersil and
Realtek. TuxMobil has
tested it on an ASUS M2400N
laptop and it worked out-of-the-box. Though unfortunately the
driver is not Open Source. Intel has also announced a driver, but whether
this will be released as Open Source or not is still unclear. Nevertheless Centrino(TM)
laptops are already very popular in the Linux community. For almost all
Centrino based laptops there are installation reports available.”
