I meant i was going to chase down the possibilities for getting it into extras in some form (as ac mentioned) while the unified driver is being stabilized for kernel submission. As a quick follow up though: Would you suggest trying to get the (more stable) separate drivers included upstream while the unified driver codebase settles down? Meaning, is it a smart move to try to push something in that will be functionally replaced in a year? If it isnt terribly difficult to transition from one driver to the next then where should i start? I've never tried to push any patches into the upstream kernel and don't know the politics (link or short explanation would be great). :) Thanks. - -mf -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.1 (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQFDayndBVsNYjF2rDYRApGLAJ41I4+ALWwHFomPd5VxskM9LRk6RACeJu77 RafM+og6+A1ZUOtkD6jNIPo= =75cQ -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- -- fedora-devel-list mailing list fedora-devel-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-devel-list
