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. |
