- ndiswrapper (and ipw2100) use wlan0 iface while ipw2200 uses eth1 (I would prefer wlan0 but that's not so important). - ndiswrapper doesn't manage WEP while ipw2200 should do. - I've experienced a higher cpu usage after installing ipw2200. but maybe there's no relation with ipw2200. - nidswrapper can manage hardware switch states (my laptop has a switch on the left side that turns off wireless lan). when I turn off wlan iface wlan0 goes down. when I turn on iface comes up. ipw2200 cannot manage that. - pay attention when removing ipw2200 modules. make uninstall deletes the whole wireless dir in /lib/modules/2.6.8-ecc/kernel/drivers/net/ this results in deleting other modules (if compiled), such as orinoco and so on. that's a 0.7 release problem: release 0.6 create its own directory called ipw and deleted that upon make uninstall. bye -- Leonardo Canducci GPG Key ID: 429683DA
