Its time for a 2.6.37 based release for upgrading your 802.11 / Bluetooth / Ethernet drivers on older kernels now that 2.6.37 has been released. The good stuff: http://www.orbit-lab.org/kernel/compat-wireless-2.6-stable/v2.6.37/compat-wireless-2.6.37-2.tar.bz2 http://www.orbit-lab.org/kernel/compat-wireless-2.6-stable/v2.6.37/compat-wireless-2.6.37-2-sn.tar.bz2 compat-wireless provides a backport of a few Linux kernel subsystems down to older kernels: * 802.11 * Bluetooth * Ethernet For more details refer to the home page: http://wireless.kernel.org/en/users/Download/stable/ The compat-wireless project consists of code from three projects: * The Linux kernel: linux-2.6-allstable.git * Compat-wirelesS: compat-wireless.git * Compat: compat.git The compat-wireless stable releases incorporates code from from each of these git trees for the respective upstream Linux kernel stable release. A branch called linux-2.6.3x.y exists for each stable release. Below we provide the ChangeLog of changes from the previous branched release to the new branched release.
