Hi Larry,

I did reply-all. Please note the CC to the b43-dev mailing list in this and my previous mail.

Thanks for the guidance. I'll see how I go.

Kind regards

Hi Larry,

Thanks for getting back to me on this. I'm not overly experienced when it comes to driver development and so I may be best suited to waiting until this is made
live. That is, unless compiling and patching experimental drivers is an easy
thing to do (but from what I understand it's not?)

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
