Hi all,

HEAD users only:
If you are using ipw(4), please switch to iwl(4), which currently
builds as module.  It is more stable than ipw(4) and supports
WPA/WPA2.

You will have to download the firmware from:
http://ipw2100.sourceforge.net/firmware.php?fid=4
And put the files untared under
/etc/firmware/iwl/2100/1.3

Only thing left to do is rfkiller (the small trigger on your laptop)
processing.  If you are interested to make that work, please let me
know.  ipw(4) and ipwcontrol(8) will be nuked soon (probably within
one week)

Best Regards,
sephe
