Unlike the other drivers that are suggested for removal, this one is still officially maintained. According to Johannes Berg, there was an effort to finish the move away from wext in the past, but the last evidence of this that I could find is from commit a3caa99e6c68f ("libipw: initiate cfg80211 API conversion (v2)") in 2009.

IMPORTANT INFORMATION BEFORE USING THIS DRIVER -================================================= - -Important Notice FOR ALL USERS OR DISTRIBUTORS!!!! - -Intel wireless LAN adapters are engineered, manufactured, tested, and -quality checked to ensure that they meet all necessary local and -governmental regulatory agency requirements for the regions that they -are designated and/or marked to ship into. Since wireless LANs are -generally unlicensed devices that share spectrum with radars, -satellites, and other licensed and unlicensed devices, it is sometimes -necessary to dynamically detect, avoid, and limit usage to avoid -interference with these devices. In many instances Intel is required to -provide test data to prove regional and local compliance to regional and -governmental regulations before certification or approval to use the -product is granted. Intel's wireless LAN's EEPROM, firmware, and -software driver are designed to carefully control parameters that affect -radio operation and to ensure electromagnetic compliance (EMC). These -parameters include, without limitation, RF power, spectrum usage, -channel scanning, and human exposure. - -For these reasons Intel cannot permit any manipulation by third parties -of the software provided in binary format with the wireless WLAN -adapters (e.g., the EEPROM and firmware). Furthermore, if you use any -patches, utilities, or code with the Intel wireless LAN adapters that -have been manipulated by an unauthorized party (i.e., patches, -utilities, or code (including open source code modifications) which have -not been validated by Intel), (i) you will be solely responsible for -ensuring the regulatory compliance of the products, (ii) Intel will bear -no liability, under any theory of liability for any issues associated -with the modified products, including without limitation, claims under -the warranty and/or issues arising from regulatory non-compliance, and -(iii) Intel will not provide or be required to assist in providing -support to any third parties for such modified products. - -Note: Many regulatory agencies consider Wireless LAN adapters to be -modules, and accordingly, condition system-level regulatory approval -upon receipt and review of test data documenting that the antennas and -system configuration do not cause the EMC and radio operation to be -non-compliant. - -The drivers available for download from SourceForge are provided as a -part of a development project. Conformance to local regulatory -requirements is the responsibility of the individual developer. As -such, if you are interested in deploying or shipping a driver as part of -solution intended to be used for purposes other than development, please -obtain a tested driver from Intel Customer Support at: - -https://www.intel.com/support/wireless/sb/CS-006408.htm - -1. Introduction -=============== - -This document provides a brief overview of the features supported by the -IPW2100 driver project. The main project website, where the latest -development version of the driver can be found, is: - - http://ipw2100.sourceforge.net - -There you can find the not only the latest releases, but also information about -potential fixes and patches, as well as links to the development mailing list -for the driver project. - - -2. Release git-1.1.5 Current Supported Features -=============================================== - -- Managed (BSS) and Ad-Hoc (IBSS) -- WEP (shared key and open) -- Wireless Tools support -- 802.1x (tested with XSupplicant 1.0.1) - -Enabled (but not supported) features: -- Monitor/RFMon mode -- WPA/WPA2 - -The distinction between officially supported and enabled is a reflection -on the amount of validation and interoperability testing that has been -performed on a given feature. - - -3. Command Line Parameters -========================== - -If the driver is built as a module, the following optional parameters are used -by entering them on the command line with the modprobe command using this -syntax:: - - modprobe ipw2100 [
