I have an IBM Thinkpad with this beastie in it. The card was immediately recognized and uses the airo driver. No matter what I do, I can't get it to successfully connect to my WAP. Sometimes it sees the access point (as evidenced by an iwlist wifi0 scan seeing the network) and sometimes I can actually get it to connect ( as evidenced by the iwlist command showing the WAP ID). Eventually the connection between the card and the AP simply dies. I'm not new to wireless and have had no problems manually configuring other wireless cards to work properly, so I have gone through most of the gyrations. Right now I've fallen back to an Orinoco silver.
Google doesn't seem to be helpful in this endeavor (lots of hits but most having to do with the 2.4 kernel series) so my question is relatively simple: Before I waste an inordinate amonut of time trying to make this thing work I would like to know if anyone else has had success here? If so, could you tell me the firmware version of your card? Even if you can't I'd be delighted to hear that the fact that the kernel manages to turn on my wireless light isn't the kernel's way of teasing me.
Thanks very much!
