Zeeb CommitDate: 2026-05-31 16:17:11 +0000 15.1/relnotes: LinuxKPI based wirleess drivers Adjust the carefully prepared list of changes for the 15.1 release: - reduce the list of driver updates to the ones we actually ship. Mediatek was in a different category anyway. - adjust some descriptions and add notes to Realtek drivers that there are known issues.
