And there are two new wifi drivers due to merge with the mainstream kernel from version 2.6.18 -
bcm43xx-softmac and ipw3945

And I can suggest a few more drivers:
Sage needs support for an ESS2898-based winmodem. Source code here http://tx.technion.ac.il/~raindel/∞

PCTEL is another winmodem maybe deserving of support. http://linmodems.technion.ac.il/pctel-linux/welcome.html∞

The Broadcom BCM4401 ethernet NIC is supported by the opensource b44 driver, but apparently it doesn't work very well.
The proprietary Broadcom driver is better. Download http://www.broadcom.com/support/ethernet_nic/downloaddrivers.php∞

MU's installer∞

main gripes in 2.10 would also be a good idea.
There seems to be a bit of slowdown in older hardware, so perhaps we have to
reconsider the LZMA compression. Barry

GXine media player
does not play properly (band on top of viewing area)
yellow info screen at start

Open Doc support (not working in Abiword in 2.10)

Puppy213 codename 'STAR'

* Post the kernel source for 2.11 as a .sfs file. This makes it easy to install/remove and doesn't take up space in the pup_save file.
* The X11R7 tar ball for 2.10 was very handy. Do it again!
* Add a symlink from /usr/X11R7/include/GL to /usr/include.
* NTFS-3g up to sixth release, ntfs-3g-20070920-beta, see : http://www.linux-ntfs.org/∞
* Add a comment to the Betaftpd dialog stating that the user's home directory must be out side of the unionfs filesystem or you can't download.
* RipperX won't make a good mp3 file. The 2.02 binaries work in 2.10. see: http://www.murga.org/~puppy/viewtopic.php?p=72757#72757∞
