Hi.. I've been using the Intel PRO/Wireless 2011 cards for a
year or so.  I don't know if the 2011B cards have the same internals
or not.  

The 2011 cards are based on Spectrum24.  So you had to compile
your own drivers.  The newer distros of redhat seem to have this driver 
included.

And my own little contribution (for pre redhat 7.1):
