No, nothing more. I didn't know you had already built a dkms for 2006 at the time I wrote the mail. Damn, I should have used it instead of the cooker package... I'll uninstall the cooker one and install yours. > The problem with any other option (eg uploading to devel/2006.0), is that we > would force-upgrade all ndiswrapper users to 1.6 (and dkms-ndiswrapper). That's what I had in mind. You're right, we shouldn't force all users to upgrade to a package in contrib (if I understand correctly the reason behind), but could we force-upgrade SMP users only (which don't have ndiswrapper at all currently) ?
