The Dell Patches in Dell Wiki For Specific Kernel Only?
If I want to use the new kernel found on the ubuntu updates how can I modify the sound,PPA,etc patches on the dell linux wiki to make them work on the new kernel?
My 1525n was shipped with 7.10. I upgraded to 8.04 and had to run all the Dell Wiki fixes to get everything working again. When the 2.6.24-18-generic kernel appeared for automatic upgrade from Ubuntu, I installed it. The wireless light quit working again with the kernel upgrade, but the wireless itself works fine, so I left it as is. I suppose I could reinstall the backport to get the light working again, but I don't really need the light. Everything else works fine including sound.

Dunno if this helps.
