2.6.25 (and older) to 2.6.26 Upgrade Issues/tips

Debian's madwifi source package now supports the eeepc chipset so we are no longer packaging our own eeepc-madwifi-source. For those that have the madwifi-eeepc-modules-2.6-686 meta package installed, we have prepared a dummy package that should transition you to the new modules. For those that have the kernel specific madwifi-eeepc-modules installed, before you reboot into your 2.6.26 kernel, install madwifi-modules-2.6-686. This will pull in the latest madwifi-modules available, and keep them up to date when new ones become available. Atl2 modules should be treated as below.

The 2.6.26 kernel also has the laptop_eeepc acpi module in it, so there is no longer any need for the eeepc-modules package. This was built for 2.6.26 for a short while, so if you have the package installed for the 2.6.26 kernel, it should be removed as having two kernel modules loaded for acpi could lead to unpredictable results.

2.6.29 Upgrade Issues/tips

As described in ../../FreeYourEee, progress has been made in new releases of the kernel to include wifi drivers for all models of Eee.

FixMe: some of these might more appropriately be in the News for the package (at least where leaving the old workaround in place is considered harmful).
