News.com: Intel considering Centrino wireless for Linux
News.com reported yesterday that Intel is considering adding Centrino wireless support for Linux OSes.
The report quotes Will Swope, general manager of Intel’s Software and Solutions Group, as saying "What I believe will happen is we will end up having a Linux compatibility driver that is not open source at first, then designing future drivers in such a way that they are open source but will not expose intellectual property".
No schedule was given, however, and Intel has not had particularly aggressive schedules for Centrino wireless developments to date.
