Centrino wireless chip support in Linux?

[David Teague]

 I read this in
http://hardware.newsforge.com/article.pl?sid=05/07/14/1721248&from=rss

"Because Centrino-based computers have wireless network chips that don't
work with Linux, there is a project to create open source drivers for
earlier Centrino wireless chips, but the newer ones don't seem to be
supported."

I seem to recall that there are Intel supported Linux drivers
for the Centrino wireless chips. Is this true? Or is this author
right, the "new ones" aren't supported?
