Bits from the Debian Eee PC team, summer 2008

A report from the Debian Eee PC team looks at the support for various models of the Eee, as well as progress towards free drivers for the wireless hardware. "Nick Kossifidis has submitted patches on linux-wireless supporting the Eee models currently supported only by the non-free madwifi in ath5k. This means we'll soon realize our goal of a completely DFSG free system for the earliest models of the Eee. By 2.6.27, or at the latest 2.6.28, these models will be supported. Then we will see about making a patch to support whichever kernel makes it into Lenny." Click below for the full report.

Update: A correction about the driver status has been issued.
