However, 2.6.37 is already available in experimental and it (or a higher version) will eventually reach testing and from there squeeze-backports. I would estimate 1-2 months after squeeze is released.
Excellent.
And are all those changes "non-free" -- so to be included in "supported" versions of Debian?Non-free in Debian means non-DFSG[1][2]. What do you mean?
What I mean is, the kernel changes to add broadcom and other firmware ... will those parts be non-free or will they remain as extras required as they are now.
I did an install using squeeze rc1 and without using media with non-free firmware, it would have been more difficult.
If the broadcom and other extras coming in 2.6.37 are non-free additions, then that would be fantastic; if they aren't well, it would be a pity.
