This third patch is therefore not a fix per se. The patchset is based on 2.6.37. Hopefully there are not too many things to update for the current -git. Comments, flames as well as acclamation are welcome. ;-) Mathieu -- Mathieu Desnoyers Operating System Efficiency R&D Consultant EfficiOS Inc. http://www.efficios.com
