We use the backports project solely for testing. We build and test nightly for a number of lab machines. Some are running recent wireless-testing kernel, but a number of those run a relatively old FC19 kernel (3.11.1) for which we build backport brcm80211 drivers. We do that for our internal tree and for the wireless-testing tree. >> If you are OK in having us list or >> generalize your usage please indicate so.
