DriverLoader 1.6 Enables Wireless On Intel Centrino Notebooks

You need to first install any major Linux distribution based on the 2.4 or 2.6 Linux kernel, then you can go right ahead and install DriverLoader 1.6, followed by a Windows NDIS driver, provided by your hardware vendor. Driver Loader 1.6 supports Intel's PRO/Wireless 2200BG card with 54Mbps 802.11g technology and the Wi-Fi Protected Access security protocol. . . . "People were deploying Linux on their Centrino notebooks and then they would notice their wireless LAN would not work. DriverLoader 1.6 allows them to activate the WLAN interface on their notebook," said Marc Boucher, president and founder of Linuxant. Not all hardware vendors have been providing adequate Linux drivers, so what we've done is implement interfaces that are used under Windows drivers in DriverLoader and we convert between the two worlds."
