Comment 29 for bug 502433

Cant post to Launchpad due to down time. So will paste message here ;)

"Hey hey good news. I compiled the bleeding edge linux compat wireless
which, if i understand correctly, should be based on the wireless testing
git, and so have the patches. I downloaded the pack from
http://linuxwireless.org/en/users/Download.

So far so good. Seems to be working, with no hickups yet. But it's early
days. I'll leave it on overnight downloading something and tell you how it
goes tomorrow!

Riz"

Will keep you updated :)
