   The desktop update appeared earlier today. The changelog as expressed by   
   Mageia doesn't mention anything about changes to the b43 driver between   
   this and the last update. Not surprised - as you said, that would be   
   very fast.   
      
   Observations of the usual actions of the Mageia team would indicate that   
   a new kernel would not be issued so close to another update if the team   
   didn't think there was a critical need for it. If "nice to have" was   
   enough to trigger such updates we'd have a new one every week or so.   
      
   But you know that. I suspect what you were saying in the above statement   
   is that the b43 update we were discussing isn't critical. You weren't   
   commenting on any other reasons there might be for a kernel update.
