Both.  But of course, by the time SuSE releases anything, almost
always there are newer ones at ipw2100.sf.net.  If you want to use
them, subscribe to the e-mail list also.

I am sitting in a Seattle's Best Coffee in Austin, TX replying thru my
T41 with ipw2100 0.55.  If you go this route, be sure and remove any
ipw2100.ko, ieee80211.ko, and ieee80211_crypt.ko modules before
installing the driver.  And do it again after any kernel update.  The
principal ipw2100 (and ipw2200) author is probably sitting in a
Starbucks ten miles to the west of me.  We eat our own dogfood ;)
