2.6.24 was released on January 28th. With it you get the new SDIO driver for Marvell's Libertas 8385 and 8686 wifi chips. You also suspend/resume bug fixes for iwlwifi (iwl3945, iwl4965) a lot of general bug fixes and cleanups for rt2x00 drivers, b43, b43legacy, ipw2200, libertas, zd1211rw. The rtl8187 now supports the Sitecom WL-168 v1 001 wireless device.

For users looking to help test the bleeding edge but stuck on older kernels we now have available a wireless compatibility package. This lets you get the latest drivers and bug fixes on kernels >= 2.6.22.
