(sending this again, because did not see the message in linux-kernel
for 2 days and suspect that it has been lost; sorry if someone
receives a duplicate)

Sorry to bother you, but what's the status of this patch?  Since that
time, 2.6.11 and 2.6.12 kernels were released, now 2.6.13 is almost
ready, and the VT6410 support does not seem to appear even in -mm.
Has the patch been lost, or is it broken?
