Webconverger 8.5 brings better old hardware and wireless support

Between 8.0 and 8.5 there are several improvements such as:

• Firefox 5 !
• Added lots of non-free wireless firmware
• 2.6.39 486 linux kernel, meaning ancient machines should be able to boot Webconverger

If you notice any more issues please report them to the mailing list. I'd be especially interested in any detailed reports of the browser failing to load. A browser strace & hardware details whilst in debug mode would be useful.

Many thanks especially to Daniel, Guttorm, Jamie & Ari for helping with this "pre-Mongol Rally" release.

Lastly please support my adventure from London to Mongolia over at http://geekout.org.uk/ by donating and / or subscribing to the news feed.
