Yup, and when 2.6.32-rc1 is released we'll have another compat-wireless tarball made from that as well. > Anyway, Larry > and Herton have made more changes/improvements in rtl8187 in > latest-and-greatest than 2.6.31-rc7... Thanks for the heads up, what I recommend is you edit the wireless.kernel.org wiki page for rtl8187 and put there a section of 'recommended version' and explain what kernel release you expect to work the best, and if you do recommend latest and greatest put that on the wiki. This is what we did for ath9k as ath9k changes kept coming in for ath9k through kernel releases and distributions were still on old versions of it. What I hope is eventually users will just know to check wireless.kernel.org driver page for details for their own drivers.
