Hi,

I have a Intel(R) PRO/Wireless 2100, and the ipw2100 driver is now in the
kernel (Later FC4 kernels also have it). It appears rock solid (although
the version in the current FC5 kernel is 1.1.3 and thus does not yet
support WPA I think... WEP should be fine though.)

I have Intel(R) PRO/WIreless 2200 and it works pretty fine with ipw2200. The
only thing I had to do was to update the firmware. I also found out that I
have some problems on newer kernels (after I do update), but it works pretty
fine on the kernel supplied on FC5 installation CDs

Is it Super-G capable?

No because super-g is an atheros proprietary feature. If you want ~100Mb/s you really need to wait for 802.11n standard equipment.

Between a host on the other side of a g-only ap and in intel 2915 I can do currently do ~22Mb/s of actual data throughput, switching over to A pushs that out to around 24Mb/s.
