Anthony,

You don't think "sms1xxx: fix compat for kernel 2.6.23 and earlier" sounds like it might have something to do with a fix for a build problem on your 2.6.22-15-generic kernel?

I put up a fix, and I requested a merge.  That's what I did.  You can do one of the following:

1) Wait for the fix to be merged

2) Just disable the sms1xxx driver, since you don't need it anyway.

3) Use the tree that I pointed you to that has the fix

4) cherry pick the fix from the tree that I pointed


Have a nice day.

-Mike
