updating wireless drivers ipw2100
I have an IBM laptop and im running slackware 10.1 reading through some sarches and other posts I have actually got my ethernet card going and all set up on eth0.
I would like to get my wireless card running on eth1
here is the report from the "lspci"

I checked around and found other people with some issues and decided to get the
latest drivers for the pro/wireless 2100 card.
how do i go about getting them installed......
i read on sorceforge.net something about the kernel modules need to be redone.
also about ipw-tools?
can someone help?
thank you
