Linux kernel 2.6.14 is out, the fourth major kernel version of 2005, and chock full of improvements, including driver updates, new virtual filesystems and wireless connectivity improvements.
The 2.6.14 kernel comes just two months after the 2.6.13 kernel was released at the end of August. This release also marks the beginning of a new development process for kernel development.
"As per the new merge policies that were discussed during LKS {Linux Kernel Summitt} in Ottawa earlier during the summer," Linus Torvalds wrote in a mailing list posting. "I'm going to accept new stuff for 2.6.14 only during the first two weeks after 2.6.13 was released."
Getting wireless cards to work in Linux used to be a daunting task. When I tested SUSE 10 and Ubuntu 5.10, they both recognized my Hawking cards. But neither worked. Seems the drivers are based on TI ACX 2500 chip set. The driver code is open source. I used Linuxant on one and ndsiwrapper on the other.
I'm posting this on a machine that's using the Hawking 54 and ndiswrapper.
Come on kernel guys!
