Working PCI wireless cards on Gentoo Gentoo Base System release 1.12.9 GenuineIntel (kernel: 2.6.20-gentoo-r8) by heartsmagic (3):

install ipw firmware.

ok

Working PCI wireless cards on Zenwalk 4.6 GenuineIntel (kernel: 2.6.21.3) by 1369ic (3):

Had to download the firmware from the ipw2200 project page and put the firmware in the /lib/firmware directory. It would then come up fine, but had to edit the wireless configuration file in /etc/rc/d to get it to come up as part of the boot sequence (had to add my router’s essid, encryption key and channel). Wifi radar comes with the system and may have done this, or the system control panel may have, but I’ve been using Slackware or Zenwalk on this system for a while, so I know what to do by hand.

Working PCI wireless cards on Ubuntu 7.04 i386 (kernel: 2.6.20-16-generic) by eokrghz (5):

Wifi works flawlessly with WEP encryption, I haven’t tried with WPA. The wireless card works well with Kismet and Airodump but does not support packet injection so cracking WEP keys can take a rather long time.

Working PCI wireless cards on Debian lenny/sid i386 (kernel: 2.6.21-2-686) by guee2 (3):

must load specific kernel modules and firmware to make the driver module work.

then the driver works very well with wpa_supplicant (mode WPA-PSK)

Working PCI wireless cards on openSUSE 10.2 i586 (kernel: 2.6.18.8-0.5-default) by lamabodo (3):

Drivers must be downloaded and installed. Works like a charm after that.

Needed to download firmware first

No master mode although it should be possible to do it
