Intel Linux Driver Version 1.0 For Centrino WLAN

Werner Heuser writes "Intel has just released Linux driver version 1.0.0 for the Centrino PRO/Wireless 2100 chipset. Almost two years, since the first Centrino generation with Pentium-M Banias has reached the market, a stable issue of a native Open Source driver has become available. The Wireless LAN driver for the current Centrino generation with Pentium-M Dothan and PRO/Wireless 2200BG chipset is still at version 0.13. This driver is intented to support also the third generation of the Intel miniPCI WLAN adapter named PRO/Wireless 2915ABG. Though Intel intended these projects to be community efforts, there are some possible working constraints. Mainly, no hardware documentation is available."

    A nice quiet story where I can talk about the fantastic dump I just took!

    I knew for a while I had to take a huge dump. I was getting those pre-shit silent-but-deadly farts that tell you it's time.
    When I sat down on the shitter, I relaxed. It took a few minutes for the log to start sliding down the chute.
    It came out with a lot of effort on my part. I bore down on it and made lots of grunting and groaning noises. I almost blew out my O-ring.
    When the turd finally slipped the surly bonds of my ass, I ripped an amazing toilet fart. I was loud, long-lasting, and satisfying.
    I sat there for another five minutes, just getting over the massive pile of shit I left. I didn't even think about a courtesy flush, even though the stench was working its way into my pores, along with the tile and the paint.
    Finally, all sweaty and tired from my labors, I got up and wiped my ass. There was surprisingly little hanging on, but it was a solid log.
    I flushed, but the wad of paper wedged with the monster log to jam up the works. The shitter is now shut down, waiting for some poor bastard to use it anyway while bathing in the sweet smell of my shit.
