Again pardon my ignorance here.. It seems that I can either get 2.6.28-wl or 2.6.28-rc8 per your suggest= ions below but not 2.6.28-rc8-wl And I know it is possible to have the kernel version reported as 2.6.28= -rc8-wl. How can I get that? thx Jay > Date: Sun, 11 Jan 2009 11:10:18 -0600 > From: Larry.Finger@lwfinger.net > To: jayant_sane@hotmail.com > CC: linux-wireless@vger.kernel.org > Subject: Re: Newbie question on 2.6.28-rc8-wl >=20 > Jayant Sane wrote: >> Bear with a miserable newbie...=20 >> =20 >> I have been asked to compile against the 2.6.28-rc8-wl version of ke= rnel (as printed by uname -r).
