| compat-wireless as a whole aims to always be compiled and used with the |
| oldest stable kernel supported by kernel.org. This will be the oldest |
| stable kernel on the 2.6. series listed on the kernel.org front page. |
| Sometimes we'll go even beyond that. |
| |
| Backporting compat-wireless involves backporting some subsystems but |
| at times we may want to support compiling only certain drivers on older |
| kernels since its easier to backport some subsystems. Such is the case |
| with PCI drivers. This directly exists to allow developers enable |
| compilation of compat-wireless on older drivers using ./scripts/driver-select |
| Upon selection of a driver a patch from this directly will be applied to |
| allow further compilation of one driver onto even older kernels. |
