3.3 was probably chosen based on wifi driver quality at the time. I think we started with 3.3.2 or .3 so it was pretty new at the time. Because of that we (most probably) can't drop down to 3.0. Trying to sync with a -rt kernel does seem like a good idea, -longterm seems unnecessary. For the record my production networks runs trunk (something around 31xxx, I forget right now). It's a VPN mesh consisting of over 100 nodes and minutes of downtime is measured in thousands of dollars. Ignoring the whole "REAL MEN USE TRUNK(tm)" the tagged releases are just too old to do anything fun with. _______________________________________________ openwrt-devel mailing list openwrt-devel@lists.openwrt.org https://lists.openwrt.org/mailman/listinfo/openwrt-devel
