Package: linux-image-2.6.26-1-686 Version: 2.6.26-5 Severity: wishlist Hello,
Intel has a new wireless chipset. Laptops with those chipset are currently hitting the market, and we can assume they will replace the 3965/4965 soon. Are there any plan (and any chance) to have them supported in Lenny ? It seems that the driver is getting merged in upstream kernel 2.6.27.
