We do. The problem is that doesn't define things like which wifi device is used. There seems to be a reasonable amount of interest in a much more generally useful x86 BSP. This seems to fit the goals of the atom-pc BSP, which has become a bit stale. > >> I'm not arguing for a true generic kernel such as Fedora maintains which >> boots on almost everything, just a new machine with more flexibility. >> Including both i915 and i965 GPU drivers covers everything Intel-driven from >> the earliest netbook to the latest Ivy Bridge[1].
