compat-drivers gets a series of v3.8.2 based releases kicked out [0]. Below is the ChangeLog relevant to the backport effort, thanks to everyone who contributed! For the full ChangeLog that includes all kernel components updated refer to the upstream file [1]. Be sure to use the new release page for now [2]. Interesting to note was there are a slew of pending-stable patches not yet merged into linux-3.8.y for the networking subsystem but nothing for DRM, we get these merged in on the -s releases, as a short cut, instead of having to wait for them to be merged.

It provides a backport of a few Linux kernel subsystems down to older kernels: * 802.11 * Bluetooth * Ethernet * DRM For more details refer to the home pages: https://backports.wiki.kernel.org The compat-drivers project consists of code from three projects: * The Linux kernel: linux-stable.git * Compat-wirelesS: compat-drivers.git * Compat: compat.git The compat-drivers stable releases incorporates code from from each of these git trees for the respective upstream Linux kernel stable release. A branch called linux-3.x.y exists for each stable release. Below we provide the ChangeLog of changes from the previous branched release to the new branched release.
