Re: Intel 2200BG/Linux

Didn't know it was a party line. On it.

I haven't been able to get the driver to load. The download on the site
doesn't work.

The firmware should be installed on the card, because the card runs
perfectly on the windows side of the drive, but if it needs to be
installed on Linux, then no, it's likely not.

But again, the page has no download link.
