Or perhaps Ubuntu could learn from Debian and do releases when the
software is in a good state rather than at specific predetermined
release dates. Or fix the bugs themselves and contribute them upstream.
Strangely I find with the 2.6.24 kernel currently in Debian, the intel
wireless seemed to work great with WPA2 (at least on a 4965). Maybe
that was 2.6.24.2 or 2.6.24.3 or something. It was a couple of weeks
ago now. I haven't heard of the 4935 before.

I hope, then, that Linux 2.6.25.x stable will be out sooner than 24th
april (Hardy release date) otherwise I (and I guess also many other
people) will be in a very bad spot until the kernel is updated...(I am
not proficient enough so to compile a whole Linux kernel for my distro).
Thank you very much for your attention, in any case.
Greetings

Hello, Luca!
I'm replying to your message that didn't come to be through a mailing
list. Please don't bcc: random people. It's a bad style.
Quoting Luca Venturini <[email protected]>:

2.6.25.1 will be out after the first bug is fixed in Linux 2.6.25. I
cannot promise you that any such bug would exist. Actually, I hope
that there will be no reason for 2.6.25.1 release.
In any case, putting pressure on wireless developers is not
appreciated. Maybe you should learn how to compile Linux kernels. Or
maybe you should talk to Ubuntu release engineers and ask them not to
wait for 2.6.25.1 (provided that your implication is correct and they
would wait).

Since nobody has mentioned that, it's possible to compile the latest
wireless drivers for the current kernel (starting with 2.6.18) thanks to
the compat-wireless package:
http://linuxwireless.org/en/users/Download
That should be of great help for those looking to use the latest
wireless drivers without having to recompile the currently used kernel.
