Ok, I'll toss 1-5 into 2.6.18 One thing I don't understand is this description from patch 5: -------------------- This gives a theoretical speed of 71.9 Kbits/s. I measured across three runs with this patch set and got 70.1 Kbits/s. Without this patchset the average was 232 Kbits/s which means Linux can't be used for CCID3 research properly. -------------------- Decreasing the transfer rate is desirable? I read this as saying this "fix" drops the transfer rate down from 232Kb/sec to 70.1Kb/sec. What's going on here?
