Not exactly. Let me try (again) to clarify what were doing in order of priority for us... 1. Release the 8688 drivers (BT & WLAN) to work on 2.6.22 plus Pierre Ossman's SDIO stack. -- Should be done between 12/3 & 12/14. 2. Update the 8686 driver to v9 and make it work on 2.6.22 plus Pierre Ossman's SDIO stack. -- Should be done 1 to 2 weeks after #2. 3. Port all of our kernel drivers/patches to 2.6.24, including BOTH 8686 & 8688. -- Delivery for this is still TBD. Airdo could pick up the driver from what we've done in #3 above, but that may be too late for you. We could just as easily pick it up from them if they've done it already by the time we get to #3. -RobR -- Ubuntu-mobile mailing list [email protected] Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-mobile
