Re: [arch-dev-public] New extra/unstable package: compat-wireless

I just built the compat-wireless package and I must say it's a cool thing. It's a snapshot of the current wireless-testing tree with extra patches added for compatibility to older kernels.

The modules are in the /lib/modules/VERSION/updates directory, which is somehow magically preferred over the rest, and thus there is no conflict with our stock modules.

I'd like to add this package to extra or unstable (preferably extra, as the drivers may indeed be more stable than the stock ones).

Thomas - happy to have his wireless LED again.
