That is, get drivers working first then mainline them? I even don't have a working driver with RT patch. Thanks for the response though. At least it shows that such emails are not completely ignored. I feel the linuxppc-dev mailing list is full of development patches and discussions about them, kinda dedicated to active developers. Is there a place that users or not-so-active developers can post technical questions and get some relatively quick answers or comments? I think there used to be such a mailing list but I couldn't remember it. -Ryan.
