SO now the question remains.. what exactly does everyone think should be in the custom kernel ? Madwifi drivers for sure. --tobe
The eee acpi module? --ramvi

There's a general question regarding the approach here actually. Do we
want to take the genkernel and just add the eee specific bits or would
we like to produce a stripped down kernel that supports just the eee
hardware (plus whatever you might reasonably expect to plug into it)?
What's everybody's feeling on this ? -- tobe

Stripped down kernel, remove hard drive support (except usb), floppy
support, video drivers other than what eee uses, sound drivers.... In
short. minimise the kernel and make it small and fast for this machine
