Re: [LAU] >= 2.6.27 RT ETA?

Just a question, what's the need in running 2.6.27? is it for wireless usage
only, ie. the rt2860sta module?

atl1e module IS in 2.6.26 and rt-13 patch works very well with this kernel
release though there is no rt2860sta module, but if the "or" logical
statement is valid.. :-)

cheers
