Obviously you haven't been reading Linus' posts about what he'll accept
into 2.6.0-test before 2.6.0 is final. He wont take my patches, and
rightfully so.

This isn't a matter of my choice, it's a matter of timing. Get over it,
and download the latest stuff from linux1394.org if you need it that
badly. Here's a hint:

# cd /usr/src/linux-2.6.0-test9
# rm -rf drivers/ieee1394
# wget -o trunk.tar.gz http://www.linux1394.org/viewcvs/trunk/trunk.tar.gz?tarball=1
# tar zxf trunk.tar.gz 
# mv trunk drivers/ieee1394
# rm -f trunk.tar.gz

It doesn't get any simpler than that.
