Only for non-free drivers, which simply are not a priority for Debian at the same level as free drivers (and this prioritization is a foundational statement of the project). For free drivers, prebuilt modules should already be in the archive. There are a few that haven't yet been incorporated into the packages that handle those builds, but I believe most of them are there. -- Russ Allbery ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) <http://www.eyrie.org/~eagle/> -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
