[Prism54-users] Netgear WG511

[Simon Green]

You say that like it's a simple thing. :) Upgrading to 2.6 requires a
few other things to be changed as well. Most importantly I found it
broke the touchpad on my laptop - which is a perfectly ordinary PS/2
device. They changed the way PS/2 works in 2.6. Apparently it's "better"
but I could not for the life of me get that touchpad to work with 2.6.
IMHO a case of if it ain't broke don't fix it.

Anyway, you might get better mileage by upgrading to 2.4.26 and patching
it - it will be less painful.


Cheers
Simon

Remember: overstretching an analogy is like trying to hammer in a steam
train with a giraffe. It probably won't make as much sense as you'd
like.
