But it was really too buggy. I even don't know if it worked properly due to lack of hardware... Anyway, even if that patch worked, all the power management of the devices in linux 2.4 in general have to be rewrotten. I don't think the cost of the time of this rework for 2.4 will be really usefull, since linux 2.5 have already a framework for this purpose. And this work will be too oriented to developpement, not improving things or write a new driver, etc. Cheers, -- Ducrot Bruno -- Which is worse: ignorance or apathy? -- Don't know.
