OK note that 3.3 is not listed on kernel.org as supported. I'm fine in carrying the stuff for those for now but ultimately it'd also be nice if we didn't even have to test the kernels in between which are not listed. This does however raise the question of how often a kernel in between a list of supported kernels gets picked up to be supported eventually. Greg, Jiri, do you happen to know what the likelyhood of that can be? > I'm looking forward to getting rid of patches for older kernels that > often get in the way when using various wireless-testing versions ;) :D Luis -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
