This kernel is moving to the updates-testing repository, At the same time the madwifi-kmod won't build for 2.6.29 kernel. So If you have a fixed spec, please submit it on review and I will transfer ownership to you for the madwifi and madwifi-kmod. On the other side, i do'nt think it will really be needed, everyone should use ath5k/at9k by now. Nicolas (kwizart)
