I've attached most (but not all) patches in bugs on the BTS (under usertag[1].

The device would then run as a headless machine, without wi-fi support, not sure many users whant that, but it'd be a start. > > > I've not really know much on the GTA04, but I suspect kernel > > > upstreaming would be easier as things like the glamo chip have > > > been removed. > > > > > Could you possibly mentor something?

I agree, more d-i work for the FR is useless until at least basic support for the FR is in mainline kernel. _______________________________________________ pkg-fso-maint mailing list pkg-fso-maint@lists.alioth.debian.org http://lists.alioth.debian.org/mailman/listinfo/pkg-fso-maint
