      Hi Guys

      Does anyone know if you can get the Intel WLAN 5100 adapter to work with 2.0 or 1.2.3?

      I'm not understanding the process of how this can be done.

      thanks, jits

        In what way?

        Intel wireless cards don't support hostap mode, so you can't use it to run an access point.

        It might work as a client on 2.0 for a wireless WAN, but you'll need to watch the boot log for instructions on the license_ack setting that Intel forces people to use (to acknowledge the terms of the Intel driver license)
