    I've tried the Linuxant driver before - they've had it for a while
    now... I guess the news item is all about the fact they've released a
    new version. Basically it's a driver wrapper. You install their
    wrapper, and then you install the WinXP WLAN driver that came with
    your Centrino laptop. I tried it about 2 months ago. I think it
    worked, but didn't have a WLAN to test it on before the trial ran
    out. It did not destabilise my system... so... if you're not willing
    to wait for Intel to cough up a driver for your WLAN, I'd say go for
    it. I'm willing to wait at this point since I dont' need WLAN for my
    everyday work with my Centrino.
