i there any plans for using kernel 2.6.28 in upcoming 11.1 release? kernel is now in rc-4 state.
is my assumption right, that if kernel will release 2.6.28 final before 11.1 release, it will be used?
No, sorry.
Is there anything specific in .28 that you feel is missing in the .27 kernel release in the openSUSE tree?
yes, my wireless card is not included in 2.6.27. works "from the box" only with 2.6.28
Which one is it? We have some driver backports in 2.6.27 already...
I have a problem with my EEEPC 900A and wireless, too. The backported ath5k driver from
http://wireless.kernel.org/download/compat-wireless-2.6/compat-wireless-2 .6.tar.bz2
works fine.
Another driver missing for me is the one for af9015 based DVB-T sticks.
Kernel 2.6.28 adds a great bunch of new and updated drivers. For the average user it would be nice to have all his new and shiny hardware supported.
Yes it would, but realize that 2.6.28 isn't even released yet, you have to draw the line for a released product sometime :)
Yes, being a software developer myself, I know this. But I hope there will be some driver backports. I have compiled the latest v4l-dvb and compat-wireless drivers myself. These are approximately the 2.6.28 versions. And it was easy to do this. So it would be nice to offer these additional drivers in some way. Maybe there is some place in the BuildService for them.
