It looks like Froyo/Gingerbread supported Centrino through the 
independently-developed Motion branch listed on the "Get Source" page but that 
branch hasn't yet been ported to Honeycomb/ICS. Regardless, it looks like for 
the best hardware support, people tend to build custom kernels... Which we'd 
probably have to do here for our Centrino EP121s. I've also noticed a bit of 
screen flicker on mine.

Dos not work. Simpel resun wuy.

lsmod|grep -i iw
iwlwifi

However, in android, you do not have this driver. It's not compiled with the 
kernel. Weehaw! If someone manages to compile one for this kernel, please 
please please post it here.
iwlwifi.ko - goes in /lib/modules/kernelname/kernel/drivers/net/wireless/iwlwifi

guys any news on this? no way to get the 6230 on Android ICS? It works well on 
Windows 8 (after some settings changes on the device itself via the device 
manager).
Wonder how to access it via the console. The card works but Wifi looks disabled.

People apparently issue some drivers for Linux and for N-6230. Can that be used 
for Android in any ways?

Hi B, many thanks. Seems to be a good idea. However I am not an expert.. Is 
there a step by step on how to extract, compile on Android? I guess I could 
copy the tgz file on an USB key, then extract but what about the compiler (any 
specific command I need to use?
