"Welcome to the open source site hosting Intel's wireless projects for
Linux. Here you will find information about the Linux-based wireless
drivers for Intel adapters.

This site hosts the open source iwlwifi project for use with the
following hardware:

Intel® Wireless WiFi Link 4965AGN
Intel® PRO/Wireless 3945ABG Network Connection adapter "

URI:
http://intellinuxwireless.org/


LICENSE:
"Q. What license covers these drivers?
A. The wireless drivers themselves are licensed under the GPL version 2.

Each of the wireless adapters requires a corresponding microcode or
firmware image to be loaded in order to function. The microcode for the
ipw3945 driver (ieee80211 based) also requires the use of a user space
regulatory daemon. All of those binaries are distributed as binaries
under a proprietary, free to redistribute (but not modify), license. "
