Well, it takes more than a driver.
you need the firmware, and you need to put the kernel on something,
along with an initrd. And, you need some code to detect and initialize
the wireless nic, and set the parameters, such as essid, wep keys, etc.

Thanks. So in theory, I could compile Centrino wireless support into the
wireless LTSP kernel.

Well, Centrino wireless comes with the same network booting problems
that all the other wireless chipsets do. You can't boot via the
wireless nic. You have to have a kernel stored locally to boot from.
The other big problem is we aren't allowed to re-distribute the
firmware, so we can't really make a nice neat package that can be burned
to a cdrom or usb memory stick.
It would be nice if someone whipped up a script that combines the
kernel, initrd and proprietary firmware. That way, we don't need to
distribute the proprietary stuff. We'd just leave it up to the end user
or sysadmin to do it.

David,
Centrino what ?
Are you talking about Centrino wireless? or are you talking about other
features of the centrino chipset, like the Pentium-M ?

Hello All,
...just wondering if anyone out there has had a look at using Centrino with
LTSP??
Many thanks.
