Jörg - apropos of nothing really - a couple of questions:

I have noticed a couple of references in recent correspondence about
including the driver in the kernel. From a newbie perspective what
exactly will this mean? and more particularly:

a) what is the likely timescale? Could it be in included in a minor
version release - e.g. 2.6.9 or 2.6.10 etc. or will we have to wait for
a major version i.e. 2.8.x?

b) once included, will it mean that these upgrade problems with each new
kernel release will be a thing of the past? Will the major distro
suppliers be likely to include GUI configuration tools as they do with
some other wireless cards?

Just curious...

All the best.
