Will there be +something different or will Mageia use this as a base? + +I would prefer that some proprietary firmware will be available such as +the WIFI drivers of Intel (iwlwifi) , which is needed by my wireless +card, without choosing the correct version of Mageia. +These drivers are also available in the kernel right now, so it would be +a possibility to activate them there by default so newer hardware will +work correctly. + +Daniel + +-------------- next part -------------- +An HTML attachment was scrubbed... +URL: </pipermail/mageia-dev/attachments/20101201/7249ee28/attachment.html> +</PRE> + +<!--endarticle--> + <HR> + <P><UL> + <!--threads--> + <LI>Previous message: <A HREF="001565.html">[Mageia-dev] Mirror layout, round two +</A></li> + <LI>Next message: <A HREF="001566.html">[Mageia-dev] Support policy +</A></li> + <LI> <B>Messages sorted by:</B> + <a href="date.html#1574">[ date ]</a> + <a href="thread.html#1574">[ thread ]</a> + <a href="subject.html#1574">[ subject ]</a> + <a href="author.html#1574">[ author ]</a> + </LI> + </UL> + +<hr> +<a href="https://www.mageia.org/mailman/listinfo/mageia-dev">More information about the Mageia-dev +mailing list</a><br> +</body></html> |
