I've got some good news for you. I've already packaged the linux-wlan
stuff, and my AM said he'd upload it tomorrow. I was going to e-mail you
earlier, but I figured that I had no clue when the packages would be
(finally) uploaded.
If you want, I can send you all the stuff so you can see how it's done.
Also, I need help compiling it for all the various kernels, etc. I have
only build the source package and the common binaries package, I could use
help building a huge variety of -modules packages.
If you have any questions, please e-mail me.
