It was a bit of a goof because we're going to offer multiple versions of the compat-wireless package which in turn required some package name changes. rtg -- Tim Gardner tim.gardner@canonical.com Can someone please explain or point to documentation which describes the difference between these packages (linux-backports-modules-wireless-* / linux-backports-modules-compat-wireless-*). I have often problems in Ubuntu with unstable wireless network so that's why I'm looking for a more recent and hopefully better version. Rgds, Thomas Ps. Please keep me on CC as I'm not on the list.
