I made a couple of attempts to shoehorn the driver into the kernel build system, but it ended up being a rathole I didn't want to go down until I've cleaned up the driver itself. Integrating the qc-usb driver into the kernel is definitely on the TODO list, just not right now. Sorry." > Appology if I don't have much more help to offer (no hardware and mainly > dramaticaly lakes of time, specialy for the moment). This has all been very helpful. If it is indeed a problem in the hppa-linux= =20 kernel, I'll keep a watchful eye out for fixes. If there's anything a kerne= l=20 layman like me can do, please let me know.
