I can try, but I cannnot test. So If I publish package you must test it and write if works...

That is bad! vmlinuz image format is not same as zImage format! And I do not like this stupid hacks with renaming files. (But this is maybe bootmenu bug/feature). If this will be solved I can provide config files for multiboot in -bootimg deb package.

In v46 was cfg80211 staticly linked into kernel image. wifi patches from wireless-testing needs new version of cfg80211 and it is not possible to replace staticly linked modules into kernel (when is running). So in my build is cfg80211 external module, which can be loaded/unloaded (and so replaced by new version too).

Next is needed to automatize building patched wifi driver (running with dpkg-buildpackage) for creating deb package (or include it in power-kernel deb package).

I contacted author of wl1251 patches. Now we are deciding how to distribute wifi module...

I think that all temperature values have now fixed units (as written in kernel doc), so it may be bug in this program. Find out how this program reading temperature (or contact author of this program, maybe he would know where is problem).

Include wl1251 patches. And include patches from users/developers (If they fix bug/report somethink). And also compile other usb host device drivers (if somebody will need).
