As of December 24, 2008, and according to http://intellinuxwireless.org/?p=iwlwifi&n=downloads
The latest version for 3945 is 15.28.2.8 The latest version for 4965 is 228.57.2.23 It would be nice to get these updated in the non-free that will freeze with lenny. I know the lenny kernel is frozen and that changing these firmware blobs might introduce risk to people using these devices, I think that because they are non-free the best option is to ship the latest version for use with lenny for the following reasons. * Ensure support for the most and newest devices * Ensure support for new hardware for the longest amount of time before users need to backport or install by hand * Ensure (hopefully) the least number of upstream bugs * If a user running the current version has a problem, they would just be told to try the latest version. Better to provide the latest version by default and if a user has a problem, tell them to try an older version. * Intel has their own QA process, debian shouldn't need to do it for them (especially for firmware and without source) Thanks, -- Matt Taggart [email protected] -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
