If you want to wait, then it will be kernel 3.2 before this stuff is built in. FYI, that will ~4-5 months. The material will be available in the compat-wireless package that may be available for your distro in a few weeks. The difficulty in building the kernel depends on your distro. For openSUSE, it is pretty easy. For Debian-based distros, it is a bit more difficult; however, once you have all the tools installed, the commands are easy. It just takes a while. Please do a "reply-to-all". I do not do private consulting unless you are paying. Larry
