We normally only incorporate newer 'in-tree' drivers (part of Linux releases) and not 'out-of-tree' drivers (distributed separately) in Debian Linux packages. The reason for this is that out-of-tree drivers may include features that aren't in any in-tree version. When we switch to a new upstream version of the kernel we would have to either remove those features or keep adding them to new kernel versions indefinitely, which would be a lot of work and hard to test. Does Linux 3.2 (available in testing/unstable/squeeze-backports and in the Debian 7.0 installer release candidate) work with the new hardware? Ben. -- Ben Hutchings Absolutum obsoletum.
