Bug#463805: linux-source-2.6.24: iwlwifi module very old
Package: linux-source-2.6.24
Version: 2.6.24-1
Severity: normal
>From http://intellinuxwireless.org/?p=iwlwifi&n=downloads
there is a very much newer version of iwlwifi available
http://www.intellinuxwireless.org/iwlwifi/downloads/iwlwifi-1.2.24.tgz
instead of the 1.1.17kds available in debian's 2.6.24.
I can't seem to be able to compile it though, so it may need merging
(I couldn't get it to compile either way with or without the new
mac80211 stuff on that page), or perhaps it will be merged in a
upstream prerelease, which could be backported back here.
