No. > 3) Any reason it shouldn't be done? Guilt on my part that the ppa driver isn't in 2.2.5? > 4) Would it require any extraordinary means? i.e., serious source hacking It may be moderately magic getting ppa into the boot kernel config as part of the release build process (if you do go that way). > 5) Any hints?
