There was also discussion about the ipw2x00 drivers. Just wanna let you know that I still use my ThinkPad x41 with ipw2200. Please don't remove the drivers from the kernel. Also in case you need to test if the drivers are working on this machine, I can test it out. Have a great day, Patrik. ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 2+ messages in thread

We got several reports of people using ipw2x00, which was quite a surprise for me, and I have dropped the patch removing the driver: https://patchwork.kernel.org/project/linux-wireless/patch/20231023131953.2876682-11-arnd@kernel.org/ -- https://patchwork.kernel.org/project/linux-wireless/list/ https://wireless.wiki.kernel.org/en/developers/documentation/submittingpatches ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 2+ messages in thread
