Don't let the facts get in your way: http://intellinuxwireless.org/?p=iwlwifi <q> The iwlwifi project provides a driver which utilizes the mac80211 subsystem for the Intel® Wireless WiFi Link 4965AGN and Intel® PRO/Wireless 3945ABG Network Connection adapters. The iwlwifi project can be found in kernels 2.6.24 and up. You thus do not need a driver from this site if you are using one of these kernels. </q> -- Mark Warner ...lose .inhibitions when replying
