The backport of the driver in 2.6.18 seems to be straightforward. My questions are: Is there any reason I miss why this driver might not work in 2.6.16? I lack the hardware, and I can therefore only test the compilation. Would anyone who has the hardware be willing to test whether this actually works? TIA Adrian -- "Is there not promise of rain?"
