Hi,

Can someone help me get the Intel 2915 a/b/g built-in wireless going on
the DELL Precision M70 under Fedora Core 4?


wrong mailing list.... it's not a question for fedora-test-list


With all due respect, I am a Fedora Tester, and subjects like these are essential parts of keeping my Rawhide version running day to day. I completely understand the need for zealotry about non FOSS components, but it also seems important to some of us keep our test systems running. So, I am proposing (and sure to go down in flames for this) a new subject qualifier of TAINT, to be used similarly to OT, where many of the list subscribers think it (ATI, Nvidia, assorted wireless cards, etc.) is/are a valid subject, and many do not. If you feel that items which taint the kernel have no place on this list, then you can skip over TAINT tagged posts. If you depend on an item that taints the kernel to continue being a Fedora tester, then you can read and even reply to TAINT tagged posts.
