I'm talking about this:
<A HREF="http://linuxwireless.org/en/users/Drivers/b43#Support">http://linuxwireless.org/en/users/Drivers/b43#Support</A>
There are several ids that are listed as supported by wl,
but their b43 counterpart states either "untested", "partially in
2.6.39+" and so on...
And since Mageia 1 ships 2.6.38, it means switching driver in drakx
can/will break something that worked in the release tests.
Providing the openfwwf rpms for Mageia 1 is safe, and adding errata info
how to use them is also...
but changing drakx-net is not regression-free,
so I'm not convinced we should do it.
As for doing it in Cauldron, its ok both from kernel side and from
testing standpoint...
Maybe others have other opinion.
><i> <A HREF="http://linuxwireless.org/en/users/Drivers/b43#Supported_devices">http://linuxwireless.org/en/users/Drivers/b43#Supported_devices</A>
</I>><i> <A HREF="http://www.ing.unibs.it/~openfwwf/">http://www.ing.unibs.it/~openfwwf/</A>
</I>><i>
</I>><i> I don't know if we can do better :
</I>><i> 1- try open source firmware
</I>><i> 2- ask for windows driver if 1 did not work?
</I>
That would be nice, but I'm not sure it's worth rewriting parts of the
installer for a already released product.
For cauldron that could be an option.
