*IF* you can get the driver.  I tried to do that with my ipw2100 some time
ago, and just couldn't get access to the drivers.  I didn't have Windows
available on the machine that had the card, Intel wouldn't give out the
drivers, instead you had to go to your vendor.  The vendor had an
executable only, and it wasn't recognized by unzip.  I tried installing the
driver on a Windows machine that didn't have the card, but it never seemed
to actually give me a driver.  In the end I just used a PCMCIA card until
Intel released the Linux driver and it stopped sucking.

Thanks,
Sean
