Re: Patch for TechnoTrend S2-4600

Hi Mauro,

thanks for you reply.

Sorry, i was not aware of the fact that i have to ask the author. :-( 
They published it at bitbucket. Thus i thought it is okay to propose a 
patch.
In which kernel tree was it merged? The mainline one at kernel.org?

Regards,
Alex
