Looking for driver; Intel Pro 2915ABG wireless card

[J C]

Hello, I'm looking to install the most appropriate wireless driver in my Ubuntu 10.04. It's likely the file is "w29n51.inf" but I cannot find it online. The Windows Drivers software is installed on this machine, but if there is a Linux file or direct placement of this driver I'd be also interested.
Thank you for your time,

You're asking on the wrong mailing list. This mailing list is about
the development of wireless drivers for Linux, not the usage of
Windows drivers through some compatibility layer.

That said, this card is supported by the ipw2200 driver, which has
been part of the Linux kernel for years, providing you have
appropriate firmware.

The driver is usually loaded automatically when the card is detected,
and your Linux distribution should have a package containing this
firmware, or it can be downloaded at

Thanks,
