I've not tried it with 2.5.x, but in 2.4.x things are 100% perfectly stable for me and for the several people that I've had testing it. If this were included in the kernel, I would not expect any maintainence to be necessary, since this patch is mostly just taking existing scsi code and moving it into standalone functions. -Erik -- Erik B.
