If the driver is not upstream in the main kernel.org kernel, we don't add it to our kernel package, sorry. Please work with the developers of the driver to get it merged upstream so that it shows up in the next release automatically. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug, or are watching someone who is.
