Hey guys, I like how sometimes on some vendor sites they have a link
to some Debian/Ubuntu package and if the user clicks on it, it
magically installs. Was wondering if it would make sense to expand on
this and have a link to the respective ubuntu packages for
compat-wireless stable releases here:
http://wireless.kernel.org/en/users/Download/stable/
Alternatively, it would be neat that if a device is not detected as
supported the user can get a prompt to install some more updated
stable drivers and install these. That or some option upon
installation which lets it always seek the latests stable driver
updates. This might come in handy for video and sounds too, thoughts?
