Does anyone know what the difference is between installing this custom kernel and merely replacing the WiFi's firmware as outlined here[0]? More generally, what features does the custom kernel add? (I've searched their wiki but the feature matrix they present there doesn't really say what features they added.)

[UPDATE]: Never mind, the repo's `patches` directory[1] answers my question.
