Any help is welcome!
The linux-wlan-ng code base is being merged into the regular Linux kernel via the staging tree, see http://lwn.net/Articles/285594/ for an introduction. You could offer your help, since they're typically in need of people who own the actual hardware to test patches. > By the way: How can I avoid typing the "echo"-command on every startup? Report your findings to the maintainers of the orinoco driver, so that they can add the ID to the kernel tree: Pavel Roskin <pro...@gnu.org> David Gibson <her...@gibson.dropbear.id.au> Cheers, Moritz -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-kernel-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
