Thanks a lot for pushing my patches!

Ok.

This one I don't quite understand.
Could you please explain this a little more ?
I found RDEPENDS_task-base-extended in packages/tasks/task-base.bb.
This one includes ${ADD_WIFI}.
In the function "__anonymous ()", ${ADD_WIFI} is set to include "task-base-wifi" if this line is true:
...if "wifi" in distro_features and not "wifi" in machine_features and ("pcmcia" in machine_features or "pci" in machine_features or "usbhost" in machine_features)...

It seems for Poodle, that "wifi" is in distro_features, "wifi" is not in machine_features and pcmcia is in machine_features.
So the above check seems to be OK, but nevertheless the boot kernel on Poodle does not include wifi for me.

Am I looking at the right place, or did you meant something else ?
Do you maybe have another hint for me ?
