I scanned the reference quickly, but I think you have downloaded the Fedora
kernel sources. If so,

Thanks for your comments. But it's a draft. It wasn't supposed to build or
to be correct. I just asked to comment about the whole thing. Thanks.

I don't see anything in those 4 points that would argue against the current

Just a quick feedback on that package.

anyone else. It will be generated is needed.
Done.

For the record, i am using my 4311 with bcm43xx and my WRT54G v6
router. it works fine for me. Though previously it often stopped
working and I would have to reset it (the router that is), but it has
worked far better since I just recently updated its firmware from the
linksys website.
