Is there a wireless-testing suite of just the networking modules, like a 
backports-git where I can get the latest fixes? I?d rather not 
potentially introduce all sorts of other complications (i.e. ATi 
Catalyst issues?the open-source drivers don?t work properly on my 
chipset) testing a new kernel, nor spend hours compiling new kernels as 
this is the only computer I have access to, so I need it to be 
[relatively] stable for work.
