I mean, when you replace the code the hardware keeps working, end user remains happy. Nobody is married to this patch; I just care about getting this new hardware working without having to go to a whopping gigantic patch immediately. So it seems we are basically in agreement ;) Thanks. --Qxx1br4bt0+wmkIi Content-Type: application/pgp-signature Content-Disposition: inline -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.2.1 (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQFBKfm8xULwo51rQBIRAsbaAKCF081A6e5/MVBFDlxBwcASF8hU1gCfXM+s ckkzuxr598krVoOD/6OV5V0= =o1sm -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --Qxx1br4bt0+wmkIi--
