I have a Eurocom/Clevo D470K athlon64 laptop with ipw2200 wireless builtin.
I am running the latest Suse 9.2 Pro + IPW drivers available by YOU
the card is detected at boot time and the kernel modules are loaded in

using my pcmcia 802.11b card i can connect to wireless networks without issue. However, I cannot get the builtin ipw2200 to connect to the network.
How do I find out if the upcoming 9.3 release will support the intel ipw2200 under the amd64 architecture? I have a spare partition I can load a recent 9.3 snapshot, if such is available for testing?
There had been liveCDs for 9.2, therefore I assume there might be a liveCD also for 9.3 AMD64 made available by SuSE, when 9.3 will be released. This should allow testing. Of course you can also install 9.3 in your extra partition, and boot in that to test. But then you need the 9.3 DVDs. In any case, you need to wait a few weeks... HTH, Matt
