Do you really mean 2.6.18 or 2.6.19? And while neither NM nor advanced features may be ready in time for the 10.2 release, even the basic functionality will quite likely be very welcome when compared to shipping a 10.2 without any support for these cards.
... unless the card has very much intelligence inside: it doesn't look like the current ipw2100 and ipw2200 can be ported with a reasonable amount of work to the devicescape stack - the ipw3945 has already been ported by Intel (still waiting for the release).
I've been following the developemnt of the wireless stack for quite a while now, and wihle it looked like the (Intel based) current ieee stack would be the base for a future unified wireless stack, things have changed significantly and chances are really high that d80211 will be the future - there has even been the discussion on netdev to make the switch as early as 2.6.19 (that's why I wrote "might ... one release early"). So even if it isn't quite ready for prime time now, it looks like it is very close - and if it makes it into a 2.6.19rcX while 10.2 is still in beta, I'd like to see a backport going into the suse 10.2 kernel - that's what I was really aiming at. ciao Joerg -- Joerg Mayer <jmayer@loplof.de> We are stuck with technology when what we really want is just stuff that works.
