I've=20 hacked a bit on this beast, you can find several of my patches on=20 http://opensource.sf-tec.de/kernel/ . After all these it was still not=20 usable. Martin K.

This is because many of the functions just return vo= id=20 and now have to check about the return codes because of kmalloc() an such=20 stuff. I wonder where all the users of this thing come from as it went clear that = the=20 driver will die :)) Eike --nextPart1661301.WIScPfrc9u Content-Type: application/pgp-signature -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.0 (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQBDjxPGXKSJPmm5/E4RAndnAKCL2TSmgui90LAPeeQlMXp/xlNmAACghhtt X90Yrre19lvyqNAKUoWcZ2w= =kRc8 -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --nextPart1661301.WIScPfrc9u--
