Well, my functional programming teacher at the university is experiencing this bug (& resorted to using wl in the meantime - machine is a Lenovo S10e), but I don't know how well he understands the Linux kernel (given that it's not written in Haskell). But I'll write back if I find out anything. In the meantime, keep on searching. > > -- > Rafał > > _______________________________________________ > b43-dev mailing list > [email protected] > http://lists.infradead.org/mailman/listinfo/b43-dev > -- Vista: [V]iruses, [I]ntruders, [S]pyware, [T]rojans and [A]dware. :-) _______________________________________________ b43-dev mailing list [email protected] http://lists.infradead.org/mailman/listinfo/b43-dev
