Subject: Making Intel WiFi Link 1000 usable in 2.6.31
Date: Wed, 30 Sep 2009 12:34:19 -0700 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <1254339259.26521.1645.camel@rc-desk> (raw)
Hi,
A few distributions would like to enable the new 1000 series Intel
wireless hardware (Intel WiFi Link 1000BGN) in their next releases that
are based on 2.6.31. This hardware is not usable in 2.6.31, but it can
be enabled in this kernel with the addition of five patches.
Until now we have been providing the distributions with this list of
patches to do their own backporting.
Since this seems to be a general problem for distributions and users
alike, is it possible to consider these enabling patches for inclusion
into 2.6.31?
Here is the list:
