So we had a meeting at DebConf about improving hardware support in
stable, and seemed to come to a consensus that compat-drivers (formerly
compat-wireless) could be added to stable. See
<https://lists.debian.org/debian-x/2013/08/msg00119.html>. (I forgot
about this ITP bug, otherwise I would have cc'd it on that message.)
compat-drivers would have to build binary debs for all kernel flavours
and udebs for installer images. This can be done with the help of the
linux-support-3.2.0-4 and kernel-wedge packages.
What is the status of your packaging work? What do you think of this
plan, and can I work with you on it?
Ben.
