On the todo list ... still no forward progress yet :(

The mux has been ported to linux-2.5, the major number 11 was assigned,
and linus accepted it into his tree.  Last night I found the problem
that caused the init failure with the mux so the mux boots again
on 2.5.47.  The forward port is more flexible and is better designed 
to handle handle multiple muxes and the access to the ports.  I am
working with robbie to test the multiple mux cards now, and plan to
test the multiple ports here shortly (need to find my cables first.)


On a side note, I have also port-forwarded the pdc_console to the 
linux-2.5 tree and will finish testing it here shortly.  I will send 
you the updated pdc_console to review before I commit it.

Not sure ... planning on testing shortly  (this weekend possibly)

Thanks,
