linux kernel support for intel advandce-6205 wireless

[Liu, Shuang]

Anyone knows that does linux kernel support intel advanced-N 6205 wireless card.

In my Ubuntu, 10.04 and also 10.10, it cannot support 6205, so I cannot browser web page through wifi.

Many thanks!

just simple grep in kernel source linux-3.3.3:
$ grep 6205 -Rn *

Dear Villis, 

That would be helpful.
Since Ubuntu 10.10 is based on linxu 2.6.35, so I will check if 6205 driver is available on this release. 
Upgrade Ubuntu to newly kernel or port 6205 driver on 10.10 may help me out.

thanks for help!
