To unsubscribe from th

including it in the kernel. Upgrading the firmware and the module should

Of course it is. If the proposed solution is technically better and
pleases the so-called zealots, why are you discussing it at all?

GFDL documentation
gt; only the dozen binary CDs of Debian?
Without the GFDL documentation, you'll have the right to lock the room
