Linux Kernel 2.6.17

Slashdot announces that the Linux Kernel 2.6.17 has been released.

The interesting parts are the splice() system call and changes to the broadcom 43xx wifi driver. I believe (without checking) that this is the driver my Dell laptop uses. Maybe this will solve the problems I was having getting wifi to work on Ubuntu Dapper Drake!
