Intel ipw2100 Wifi Card Works With WPA-PSK @ Ubuntu 8.10

 ================== Wifi on TravelMate 800 (WPA support problem resolved)=======================

<<<<<<Lander Resolved @ Ubuntu 8.10, Travelmate800 (Intel ipw2100 3B 802.11b wifi adapter)!!!!
WPA_PSK wifi connected OK!
HOW: follow and execute the command in "ipw2100-1.2.2" from http://ipw2100.sourceforge.net/downloads.php >>>

    iwconfig eth1 power off    Disables radio power down
    iwconfig eth1 power on     Enables radio power management to
                   last set level (defaults to AUTO
   
* This should also works with Intel ipw2200 (802.11bg)...
