Hi!

I have a Thinkpad T40 with Gentoo Linux and Kernel 2.6.0-test6-mm4 and 
the driver is working! Finally!
I had some troubles with the 1.21 version, but the 1.22 drivers work 
rather good. OK, this sucks because they're a damned trial version and 
no "real" Linux drivers, but at least it works.

The installation was as simple as described in the INSTALL file, 
although I could not use Firebird for the web administration, because it 
does not find the upload cgi script. Opera worked fine. The driver files 
were located in <c:>/drivers/network/w70n51.[inf|sys].

I wonder how Intel's reaction will be and when oh when I can finally 
install real non-limited Linux drivers.
