Okay, here's just a general question I'd like to get some info (or at |
| 2 |
least opinions) on. I've been reading up on the changes to the latest |
| 3 |
stable kernel (2.6.22) and the rewrite of the WiFi driver architecture. |
| 4 |
One of the things I noticed was that my chipset (Broadcom) has drivers |
| 5 |
in the upstream kernel, but wasn't included in the rewrite and that only |
| 6 |
a handful of drivers we stable enough for the .22 kernel. My question |
| 7 |
is this, how does the new kernel affect the existing drivers? Ie, will |
| 8 |
I stil be able to use the .22 kernel with my broadcom/ndiswrapper |
| 9 |
combination until a new driver from upstream is stable? |

Does anyone know? |
