Maybe then you aren't aware of the fact that Debian releases their own kernel-patches? If you install kernel-source with apt-get, you get a Debian patched kernel. So they could change the kernel code in their kernel releases if needed. I like wlan?, it avoids confusion etc... But I think this discussion doesn't belongs to this list, so won't here me about this anymore.And here I thought Debian was a distribution which did not needlessly change upstream policies. You are aware that a) that will mean all existing documentation on the ipw2100 and ipw2200 drivers will not work for Debian users and b) that when the drivers is merged into the mainline kernel people will no longer use the seperate ipw2100/ipw2200 packages and suddenly have their system break because the device will use its standard name again?
