Cirtainly mainline kernels only reach up as far as Linus' tree so if people are saying that compat wireless has been tested then they are probabally right in a sense as our compat wireless bundles are only made from full release versions. If there is a 'next' version of that though they clearly have not tested it and we need to message that appropriatly. If you have any suggestions on the form of words we could add I would be appreciative. Or indeed you could edit the wiki pages and we can review. -apw _______________________________________________ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-bugcontrol Post to : [email protected] Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-bugcontrol More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
