I have a new Thinkpad R500 for which iwh does not work. The Wifi Link 5300 Wireless Adapter shows up as "pciex8086,4236" rather than "pciex8086,4235". Using update_drv will make the driver attach but connections seem to hang.

I noticed this list at http://lwn.net/Articles/293886/

4232 Wifi Link 5100 Wireless Adapter

. 8086 1201 5100ABGN Mini Card
. 8086 1205 5100BG Mini Card
. 8086 1206 5100ABG Mini Card
. 8086 1301 5100ABGN Half Mini Card
. 8086 1305 5100BG Half Mini Card
. 8086 1306 5100ABG Half Mini Card
. 8086 1321 5100ABGN Half Mini Card Dell
. 8086 1326 5100ABG Half Mini Card Dell

4235 Wifi Link 5300 Wireless Adapter

. 8086 1001 5300ABGN Mini Card
. 8086 1101 5300ABGN Half Mini Card
. 8086 1121 5300ABGN Half Mini Card Dell

4236 Wifi Link 5300 Wireless Adapter

. 8086 1011 5300ABGN Mini Card Lenovo

4237 Wifi Link 5100 Wireless Adapter

. 8086 1211 5100ABGN Mini Card Lenovo
. 8086 1216 5100ABG Mini Card Lenovo

In addition to 4236, there seem to be other variations not covered by iwh. Are there plans to update it?

Hi Dave,

Now iwh driver can support Intel WiFi Link 5100 with device id 4232,
5300 with device id 4235, 5350 with device id 423a. But 5100 with device
id 4237, 5300 with device id 4236 has something different, and we are
working on it. Any process, we will let you know. Thanks.

Hi Zhonghui,

I have done function test, and it works well. Before official
release(update iwh package alias & putback), full test will be done.

For OpenSolaris 2008.11, iwh driver supports 5100 with device id
"pciex8086,4232" and 5300 with device id "pciex8086,4235". If your
wifi's device id is "pciex8086,4236", you need to run command `update -a
-i "pciex8086,4236" iwh`, then iwh driver will work.
