I think you are confused by the fact that Intel is packaging a snapshot of the stack to enable their driver on older kernels. This should not be necessary for us. > I heard something soon because i heard for 2.6.21 but i'm not sure. > Dave, have you got news about this ? > Concerning iwlwifi, i think it will be a license problem so not in > fedora but maybe in an other repo. The iwlwifi driver is the new version, that does _not_ require binary userland bits. There should be no licensing issue with the driver in Fedora. I'm not 100% sure what the firmware license will be, but that shouldn't be significantly different from the current ipw2x00 drivers. Hth! John -- John W.
