Your English seems quite good to me.
The question
A recent change in kernel 3.2 ABI needs patching wireless kernel modules
sources in order to compil. As F-15 seems to use kernel 3.x series
renamed with this motif 2.6.4x, I wanted to know if the future kernel
versions numbers for F-15 will keep this scheme? If I understood it
correctly, in this case next one will be 2.6.42.y-z (for 3.2) and will
be followed by 2.6.43.y-z (for 3.3) etc. Knowing this exactly will make
it easier to build the C preprocessor macro for the wireless kernel
modules sources patch for both F-15/F-16.
Yes, when F15 is rebased to 3.2, it will be called 2.6.42 and 3.3
would be 2.6.43.
