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

Downloaded mac8011 9.0.2, and iwl-0.1.4 and recompiled kernel and modules following the instructions from intellinuxwireless.org. Works and tested with kwallet (for storing wpa key) and an accesspoint using wpa personal.

Working PCI wireless cards on Debian lenny/sid x86_64 (kernel: 2.6.22-hrt6-mac80211-904) by malmostoso (3):

It is supported by the iwl4965 driver, part of the iwlwifi project (www.intellinuxwireless.com). It might be merged in 2.6.23.

Needs a binary microcode, possibly non-free.

With iwlwifi.

Working PCI wireless cards on Debian lenny/sid i386 (kernel: 2.6.23.11-vaio-cfs) by franz76 (3):

need to compile and install Intel driver manually.

Working PCI wireless cards on openSUSE 10.3 i586 (kernel: 2.6.22.13-0.3-default) by lars (3):

Originally I manually downloaded and modified the intel iwlwifi drivers (that was with opensuse 10.2) but since I upgraded to opensuse 10.3 it has been working out of the box as far as I can remember.

Working PCI wireless cards on Gentoo Gentoo Base System release 2.0.0_rc6-r1 GenuineIntel (kernel: 2.6.24-rc7) by strohel (5):

IEEE 802.11n (300Mbit theroterical max. rate) was not tested.

Working PCI wireless cards on Gentoo Gentoo Base System release 1.12.11.1 GenuineIntel (kernel: 2.6.23-gentoo-r5) by tpavlicek (3):

it needs iwlwifi and iwl4965-ucode packages

Working PCI wireless cards on Debian lenny/sid x86_64 (kernel: 2.6.22-3-amd64) by eggman (3):

You need to compile iwlwifi from http://www.intellinuxwireless.org/

dhcp doesn’t work correctly if you are using more than one network

Working PCI wireless cards on openSUSE 11.0 i586 (kernel: 2.6.25.5-1.1-default) by peda84 (5):

the radio reception is better as it is in Windows XP

Working PCI wireless cards on Debian lenny/sid x86_64 (kernel: 2.6.26-1-amd64) by eggman (3):

As it’s common on Debian system, the firmware “firmware-iwlwifi” is not installed by default.

Plus, there is a bug in the automatically installed package “acpi-support” that prevent the wifi to be used.
uninstalling acpi-support solve this problem.
