With kernel 2.6.11 o above we need compile the kernel module. the sources are available at ipw2100.sourceforge.net
CPU frequency scaling
works fine with powernowd.
SD Card reader
works with modules wbsd, mmc_core, mmc_block.
hal+udev 0.80 can mount automatically the card when inserted.
Touchpad and other peripherals
Touchpad works fine with synaptics module, and these lines in your /etc/X11/xorg.conf
Section "InputDevice"
Identifier "Synaptics"
Driver "synaptics"
Option "Device" "/dev/input/mice"
Option "Protocol" "auto-dev"
Option "Emulate3Buttons" "yes"
Option "SHMConfig" "true"
EndSection
sound card was supported by alsa 1.0.2 or newer.
All the other peripherals works fine without any particular configuration.
