ORBIT-USER: ORBIT Node kernel version

[Luis R. Rodriguez]

Arinto,

For anything that has to do with linux wireless development you should
be using our wireless development images or your own. Linux is under
heavy wireless development right now so bleeding edge is the way to go
as otherwise you'd miss out on patches for fixes, additions and API
changes. This specially holds true if you wish to eventually submit
your protocol upstream. Patches for additions of new protocols should
always be based on the latest and greatest.

The list of supported images is always available at:

http://orbit-lab.org/wiki/Documentation/SupportedImages

If you use these you'll also get kernel debugging as a perk ;)
