Perhaps it -is- inaccurate that it's > outdated, but it's certainly less usable, from what I've seen. The wireless-testing tree is based on an -rc from Linus plus any later wireless patches (minus whatever is still sitting in my mailbox at the time). If it is less usable, it is either due to some wireless breakage (send us bug reports) or Linus is producing crap -rc releases (possible). Current wireless-testing is based on 2.6.27-rc6. Since -rc7 just came-out yesterday... John -- John W. Linville Linux should be at the core linville@tuxdriver.com of your literate lifestyle.
