Sharing Kernels Revisited

[Matthew Carpenter]

2.4.13 (COLW3.1.1) provides drivers which handle the DLink, Orinoco, and
Cisco wireless cards out of the box just fine.  I'm not saying that there
aren't drawbacks to both approaches, but the approach I believe most
fitting to mainstream server installs (at least in Corporate America) is
canned kernels.  Perhaps in smaller companies or other countries the
balance lies somewhere else.
