Linux distros, IPW3945 (updated 2007-07-11) E-mail

I have tested a few Linux Live CD distros on a Dell Latitude D620 with IPW3945ABG

wifi adapter.  Below shows  the Live CDs that managed  to handle IPW3945ABG wifi

card with WPA-PSK enabled, out-of-the-box ! Many of the new Intel-based notebooks

come with this Intel-based wireless adapter.

 

These Live CD distros use the IPW3945 driver. I hope that this article would

quash any fear of accidentally buying a non- compatible wifi adapter.

As of 18th of June 2007,  I have  started using Dell Inspiron 640m  to test the

IPW3945 driver of distros. With this  new notebook, I can also test  the Instal-

lation media. Prior to this, I could only test the Live media. Below are the very

recent Installation distros and Live CDs/DVDs Linux distributions that support

IPW3945 wifi adapter out-of-the-box.

-Fedora-7-Live-i686.

-Fedora-7-KDE-Live-i686.

-Fedora-7-Live-x86_64.

-Fedora-7-KDE-Live-x86_64.

-Fedora-7-i386-DVD.

-Fedora-7-x86_64-DVD.

-Elive 1.0 (work-out-the-box only after being installed into the hard disk).
