There was going to be the addition of the ath9k wireless driver but
there was some fallout that is being worked on right now (linux/ list.h
changes needed lkml review, ath9k driver triggered some gcc aborts,
all kinds of fun stuff :-) so hopefully it will make it in the next
pass. I tried to wait an extra day for it to be resolved, but that
was optimistic.
Talking about wireless driver updates - has anybody looked at the RaLink
wireless driver? It's in the newer EeePC's (901 and 1000), and it
actually has a driver from the company which the comments make clear is
GPLv2 too, no apparent oddness or anything:

which admittedly apparently has some trivial problems (with a trivial
patch as seen at
http://fedoraforum.org/forum/showthread.php?t=195429
I'd love to have that one working, since I have the hardware, and it's
actually reasonable (much more so than the original EeePC, in fact). What
channels should I go through? Is anybody working on integrating it
already?
