Dear driver coders,

my new notebook has the Intel WiFi Link 1000 chipset (0x8086, 0x0083).
A quick look at intels developer sites doesn't answer if the chip is
compatible with the precessor 5300/5100.
Has anybody any experience with this wlan device?

Thanks,

-Harry

Bernhard Schmidt has a repository with a recent port of the OpenBSD
iwn(4) driver, available for testing, in an svn repo:

http://svn.techwires.net/svn/projects/freebsd/sys

It should provide support for the 1000 series chips, although neither
I or Bernhard have a card to test with.

I'm testing the code on 8-STABLE...

True, this bits are coming from the OpenBSD merge.
Quoting from the commit:
"- initial support for 1000 series and initial bits for upcoming 6000
series (untested as hardware is not available to the general public)"

It looks as being complete though, feedback appreciated.
