i've gotten wpa to work on my t42 w/ the ipw2200 card (ubuntu breezy).  i
only messed with it briefly - had to issue a cli command to bring up the
interface and then assign a static ip (wouldn't pull a dhcp address for
some reason) but once it was up it worked great.

> The Intel ipw2200 driver ( for the 2200 b/g and 2915 a/b/g wireless
> chipsets) works well, has open source drivers which as of 2.6.14 is in
> the mainline kernel.  wpa_supplicant supposedly works with it, though
> I've never gotten it to work in my 20 minutes or so of playing with
> it.

> If anyone has achieved wpa on the ipw series cards, I'd be very
> interested in your setup.
