I thought the ipw2200 driver was for intel chipsets, not broadcom.
The ipw2200 is an Intel chip set. I tried to use the ipw2100 with
the ipw2100 driver under Linux on a laptop with an AMD processor.
The bios wouldn't let it boot. The OS never got involved, the
bios determined that it didn't like the mini-PCI card.
Sorry about mixing ipw2200 and ipw2100.
