I’ve backported the driver to 7-STABLE, and it works nicely for me.

Remko, thanks very much for talking to Sam on this. Let us know if there’s some progress there.

iwn(4) had been imported by Sam Leffler, as far as I was able to see. I asked him whether this could be merged to stable/7 either by him or by myself if he approves that.

We’ll see how that goes

Petr,

I think you should ask Benjamin Close (benjsc@) about the status of this driver.
He also brought in the wpi (Intel 3945ABG) driver.

Remko, is there any chance for having iwn driver backported from 8.0-CURRENT to 7.1-RELEASE. Intel 4965AGN driver is very frequent now, e.g. in laptops, and its hard to live without it. So unless the driver panics the kernel, I support its backporting… (even if there are some minor flaws).
