I don't know why Fusion droped this package, but it might have been due to me making their life harder by integrating compat-wireless directly into the Fedora kernels. Since I am no longer doing that, they may be willing to reverse that decision. I don't really see including a staging driver in Fedora unless it is clearly on the path to the "normal" part of the kernel. Any chance of that? John -- John W.
