Leanne No problem I will test as I am currently working off a ndis driver and would like to move to native. 2 questions if I may
1. Is testing off the live cd enough for you or would I need to do a full install to test properly. I cant remember if the hardy herron worked from live cd but not when fully installed? 2. Out of interest if it does work then I am quite happy with hardy but I wondered if moving over to ibex with native kernel support would lead to better battery life on my laptop - does a kernel based driver consume less resources and hence battery life than a ndis driver Thanks Nick On Fri, Aug 29, 2008 at 4:16 AM, Leann Ogasawara <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > The Ubuntu Kernel Team is planning to move to the 2.6.27 kernel for the > upcoming Intrepid Ibex 8.10 release.
