MJ, I'm very confused, as the latest kernel available from SUSE and Novell for SUSE10 is 2.6.16.9 which is classed as "Kernel Of The Day", their latest stable production kernel is 2.6.13-15.8. Kernel.org show the latest stable as 2.6.16 with a prepatch of 2.6.17-rc2 (which is what is mentioned on http://bcm43xx.berlios.de/) the prepatch was only released on Wednesday! which may explain why there is a delay in getting to the distrobution's kernel stacks. The only issue is that how stable is the KOTD? Is it worth upgrading on a production machine, or wait for the official kernel?
