So I've actually spoken with one of the Fedora X maintainers about this driver. The driver isn't really cooked yet, which is why it's still on a development branch in upstream git. I've thought about doing unofficial packages for it, and probably will at some point soon (I'd like to play with it myself, being a newly minted intel chip owner), but as for shipping it with Etch, I don't think it's ready currently. If it lands upstream in time, you can bet I'll make the effort to release it though. - David Nusinow -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
