You are right, its driver is proprietary so Moblin can't ship it. You have to (sadly) install it by yourself or ask someone else to help you. The bright side is that Linux kernel 2.6.32 includes a free driver for it and we're testing it, hope to enable it in next Moblin release. -- Best regards, Li, Yan Moblin Team, Opensource Technology Center, SSG, Intel Office tel.: +86-10-82171695 (inet: 8-758-1695) OpenPGP key: 5C6C31EF IRC: yanli on network irc.freenode.net _______________________________________________ Moblin dev Mailing List [email protected] To manage or unsubscribe from this mailing list visit: http://lists.moblin.org/listinfo/dev or your user account on http://moblin.org once logged in.
