The boring verbiage: Linus moved on with life and released 2.6.38, we get to do the same now with our backported BT, 802.11 and networking components down to the latest supported kernel listed on kernel.org (sometimes even further). We get two releases, a vanilla release and a secondary release that has patches sucked out from linux-next.git which are pending to be propagated into 2.6.38.1 and also a select few cherry picked patches from linux-next.git which are not stable material but have been reported to help with stability.

Below is the compat.git and compat-wireless ChangeLog, for more details visit: http://www.orbit-lab.org/kernel/compat-wireless-2.6-stable/v2.6.38/ChangeLog-2.6.38-wireless =============================================== ChangeLog for compat-wireless for linux-2.6.38 =============================================== This is the ChangeLog for the Linux kernel project compat-wireless. It 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.
