I've played with the iwi driver from there.

It seems there is some kind of initialization problem as it only works=20
if I have loaded/unloaded NDIS first. However without a previous=20
load/unload of NDIS it fails.

I haven't digged further into why it fails, maybe its the downloaded=20
firmware, maybe its some kind of enableing code needed on this Acer=20
Travelmate 8000 dunno...

However, when it works, it seems to have better performance than the=20
NDIS driver, is have ping turnaround down to 1.1ms whereas NDIS has=20
around 1.8ms, transferrate seems to be allmost on par though, with iwi=20
having its nose a bit ahead...
