[Slackbuilds-users] rtl-wifi on -current [was: Critical update suggestions for 12.1 repository]

[Frederic Touboul]

Hello,

Note that as of version 2.6.25, the rtl-wifi driver is officially part 
of the kernel. Not really relevant for Slackware 12.1, but I thought 
people might be interested.

I have it working on my laptop running Slack 11.0 right now, without any 
problem so far.

Regards,
Frederic.
