Whatever gave you that idea? ;-)

=============

I was interested in this thread as I am also running 8.04 on my laptop and
am trying to get wifi working.
If I install intrepid or upgrade to it I can compile the wireless driver
which works great.
However the fglrx driver intrepid installs breaks full screen opengl meaning
things like nexuiz & openarena are unplayable.

Can I add the intrepid repo to hardy then Upgrade/Install the latest kernel
and then uncomment out the repo again ? I am finding info to do this very
scant.
Alternatively is there a way to upgrade to intrepid and make sure the newer
version of fglrx isn't installed ?
I tried a different driver for hardy that is supposed to enable me to
connect with wep instead of wpa but although I can see the network it won't
connect.
