Subject: [gentoo-amd64] 2.6.22 kernel and WiFi
Date: Mon, 16 Jul 2007 08:31:15 -0400 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <469B6513.7050909@ercbroadband.org> (raw)
Okay, here's just a general question I'd like to get some info (or at
least opinions) on. I've been reading up on the changes to the latest
stable kernel (2.6.22) and the rewrite of the WiFi driver architecture.
One of the things I noticed was that my chipset (Broadcom) has drivers
in the upstream kernel, but wasn't included in the rewrite and that only
a handful of drivers we stable enough for the .22 kernel. My question
is this, how does the new kernel affect the existing drivers? Ie, will
I stil be able to use the .22 kernel with my broadcom/ndiswrapper
combination until a new driver from upstream is stable?
Does anyone know?
