Is there a 2.4 port of these drivers? I don't think I'm ready for 2.5 yet, having just achieved a stable 2.4 kernel on my laptop, which took about 1.5 years. The binary-only driver is for 2.4.21-rc1 only, so it's of no use to me (I have 2.4.22-pre7 and have to follow the -pre series because of USB bugs). I have to say I feel kind of silly playing this hide and seek game with Intel. On one hand Intel says they support Linux (http://news.com.com/2100-1006-993896.html). On the other hand we get no support for speedstep (what on earth do you lose by telling people how to program your hardware?), no support for Centrino wireless LAN. I find it both ridiculous and sad. =2D-J. --=-=-= Content-Type: application/pgp-signature -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.2.2 (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQA/HX8JLth4/7/QhDoRAnPhAJ9qZocJ5c3fhNs0AJ+HVlIkvE4vsgCgnN8/ pRft4w3J7nxvsXn85Okc59c= =mG3C -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --=-=-=-- ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: VM Ware With VMware you can run multiple operating systems on a single machine.
