The last version I tried the back-port with was 2.2.18p20-ben1 (IIRC?) and it worked then... since then I've been off-line... So you might check the diffs between 2.2.18p17-20 and the final release. It definitely worked built in and as module on the version named on my Linux page... - having got caught out ;-) - I am now religious about testing my stuff both built-in and as modules before posting it... BTW: I was not intending (when I do get back to it) - to work any more on 2.2 - since there seems to be "0.5 * sqrt(damn_all)" chance that the back-port would ever make it in to the 2.2.x kernel. The intention is to work on things for 2.4/5/ALSA - but if there's a few people who want a consolidated back-port for 2.2.18 - I will do it... although it really needs to be hosted somewhere else if it is going to be a long-term thing. ciao, Iain. ** Sent via the linuxppc-dev mail list.
