<p>Four new wireless drivers were imported:</p>
<p>
<em>ipw</em>
: driver for Intel PRO/Wireless 2100 adapters (MiniPCI).
<br />
<em>iwi</em>
: driver for Intel PRO/Wireless 2200BG/2225BG/2915ABG adapters (PCI
or MiniPCI).
<br />
<em>ral</em>
: driver for Ralink RT2500 wireless adapters (PCI or CardBus).
<br />
<em>ural</em>
: driver for Ralink RT2500USB wireless USB 2.0 adapters.</p>
<p>The ipw and iwi drivers require firmwares to operate.
<br />
These firmwares can't be redistributed with the base system due to
license restrictions.
<br />
See firmware licensing terms here:
<a href="http://ipw2100.sourceforge.net/firmware.php?fid=4">
http://ipw2100.sourceforge.net/firmware.php?fid=4</a>
.
<br />
</p>
<p>Ports which include the firmware images as well as the firmware
loader are being worked on.
<br />
A list of adapters supported by ral and ural can be found here:
