Hello list,

This is my first post on this list, so little introduction. I
co-maintain the wl-kmod and broadcom-wl packages for rpmfusion
repository. My natural language is french, and my English skill is not
very good.

The question

A recent change in kernel 3.2 ABI needs patching wireless kernel modules
sources in order to compil. As F-15 seems to use kernel 3.x series
renamed with this motif 2.6.4x, I wanted to know if the future kernel
versions numbers for F-15 will keep this scheme? If I understood it
correctly, in this case next one will be 2.6.42.y-z (for 3.2) and will
be followed by 2.6.43.y-z (for 3.3) etc. Knowing this exactly will make
it easier to build the C preprocessor macro for the wireless kernel
modules sources patch for both F-15/F-16.

Thanks in advance for your responses!

Cordially,
