If you're using non-free drivers, the first part of your sentence above doesn't apply. Usually, however, those non-free drivers that are built for each kernel get built before the new kernel migrates to testing, but given that those builds can't be handled by the general mechanism for building add-on modules, I don't think the currency of those builds can be guaranteed. My recommendation is to always use module-assistant for all non-free drivers that you want to use. That way, if there is a build in non-free, you can be pleasantly surprised, but your normal method will always work. Many non-free drivers (and some free drivers, for that matter) are never automatically built at the moment, although with the new mechanism for building modules in main, hopefully that number will drop over time for the free ones. -- Russ Allbery ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) <http://www.eyrie.org/~eagle/> -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
