Linus released 2.6.35 so we get our respective compat-wireless-2.6.35 released which backports the kernel's 802.11, Bluetooth and some Ethernet drivers down to kernels >= 2.6.27. Goal is to always backport all drivers down to the oldest supported 2.6. kenrel release listed on kernel.org. Some drivers are backported to even further older kernels (ath9k should go down to 2.6.23), to enable only one driver use the ./scripts/driver-select script. You can get compat-wireless-2.6.35 from: http://www.orbit-lab.org/kernel/compat-wireless-2.6-stable/v2.6.35/compat-wireless-2.6.35-0.tar.bz2 sha1sum: a718b6377136560894e7919304d0cf7a5106815b compat-wireless code metrics 491756 - Total lines of upstream code being pulled 1394 - backport code changes 1163 - backport code additions 231 - backport code deletions 5737 - backport from compat module 7131 - total lines of backport code 1.45 - % of code consists of backport work Base tree: linux-2.6-allstable.git Base tree version: v2.6.35 compat-wireless release: compat-wireless-v2.6.35-0 Since we can have extra fixes within compat.git / compat-wireless.git for stable releases in between stable kernel extra version updates I'm started to rely on -release_number tag postfixes to the release tag. So this release has the -0 release number, if we get a new fix/update on this package before 2.6.35.1 we'll have compat-wireless-2.6.35-1, and so on.
