Description: Intel PRO/Wireless 2100 Network Connection

More info: A driver for the Intel PRO/Wireless 2100 Network Connection 802.11b wireless network adapter. See <file:Documentation/networking/device_drivers/wifi/intel/ipw2100.rst> for information on the capabilities currently enabled in this driver and for tips for debugging issues and problems. In order to use this driver, you will need a firmware image for it. You can obtain the firmware from <http://ipw2100.sf.net/>. Once you have the firmware image, you will need to place it in /lib/firmware. You will also very likely need the Wireless Tools in order to configure your card: <https://www.hpl.hp.com/personal/Jean_Tourrilhes/Linux/Tools.html>. It is recommended that you compile this driver as a module (M) rather than built-in (Y). This driver requires firmware at device initialization time, and when built-in this typically happens before the filesystem is accessible (hence firmware will be unavailable and initialization will fail). If you do choose to build this driver into your kernel image, you can avoid this problem by including the firmware and a firmware loader in an initramfs.
