Description Ron Waldon 2005-07-06 15:59:20 UTC

As with my success reported in bug #98161: I had no issues with emerging
ipw2200-firmware 2.3 on a 2005.0-based Centrino laptop with 2200BG miniPCI. My
current set up involves roaming between two different WPA-PSK TKIP secured networks.

Reproducible: Didn't try
Steps to Reproduce:
Since this only needs to be installed once, I have not re-installed. I have
needed to re-install the module (ipw2200 1.0.4) due to multiple kernel
installations, and have not had a single issue.
Actual Results:  
Had no troubles connecting to multiple WPA-PSK TKIP secured networks.


This could be marked stable, perhaps with more success stories. I only got to
test with gcc 3.4.4 (testing) and kernels 2.6.11-r11 (gentoo-sources) and
2.6.12.2 (not in portage).

This driver is not stable for all people. We have had lots of bug reports
upstream about this version.
