This driver works well on Lucid. If your keyboard doesn't have a button for switching wifi on, you have to insulate the pin-20 of the wireless card to make it always on. |

This wireless card does not work in Karmic. (iwlagn expects firmware/ucode version 3 or lower, but 4 is the only version available). Installing linux-backports-modules-karmic fixes this. BugLink linux-archive.org thread Blog post detailing fix. |
