I > think it should be quite straightforward. For backporting you are asking the wrong people... However, 2.6.17 is already in unstable and it currently looks like that will be the kernel the Etch release will be shipped with, so that would make backporting unnecessary. This also means that the installer will start using 2.6.17 after the Etch Beta 3 release we are currently preparing. The driver should be added at that point, but if you could check that some time that would be appreciated. Cheers, FJP
