I have used both the IPW3945 and the iwlwifi drivers for this card and |
23 |
I have found sucess with both. From my experiences however the ipw3945 |
24 |
driver provided better results with the led light on the case |
25 |
(although this was a known issue with iwlwifi) and also in scanning |
26 |
for access points prior to connecting to one. Aside from that, both |
27 |
have worked great for me and I am currently using the iwlwifi driver. |
