There is no agreement yet how kernel-module-packages should be build/packaged in extras. And especially there is none that requires dkms (there are people like me who even dislike the usage of dkms). There needs to be a (probably longer) discussion first. > Depending on how the > firmware is licensed, you might even be able to include it in your package. Or submit it to livna. There is a standard scheme for kernel-module packages in use already and there should be other wlan stuff soon. I'm willing to help with packaging if someone could test the resulting packages. -- Thorsten Leemhuis <fedora@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>
