You don't need to NMU.. *kidding* Well, the "problem" is, that the kernel-team will prepare a modules package to conglomerate all oot-modules. Unfortunately, they don't want contrib modules, OTOH I was told that they will include ipw3964 (which requires even a non-free, binary-only frequency-controlling-daemon). So, there is some need for clarification about that, I'm doing that tomorrow, not in the mood for modules today. If the kernel-teams refuses to accept the ipw2*00 into the modules package, then I'm not sure if it makes any sense to keep these packages in Debian at all because I was also told that the stable-release team will not accept stable-updates for individual oot-module packages. The reason to keep the ipw packages as separated oot-module packages is, that although they are already in the kernel mainline tree, it takes Intel always some time (usually month) to update the driver in mainline compared to the separately released once. However, I hope to get a positive feedback about keeping the ipw in Debian soon, or if not, they should be imediately removed afterwards. -- Address: Daniel Baumann, Burgunderstrasse 3, CH-4562 Biberist Email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Internet: http://people.panthera-systems.net/~daniel-baumann/ -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
