This means that those devices won't benefit from new features, but bug fixes will be back-ported to the Core release branch on which they are supported. For those devices, it is recommended to take the latest Core available for the driver and the latest firmware. For example for 7260, the Core14 firmware should be used together with the latest Core available for the driver. The driver for all those devices is maintained as part of the kernel, but they won't get newer firmware features. |
