Thanks, but its not me alone. Dan, Jean, Alan has helped me a lot in this. > > Are you going to continue to fix up the other drivers? I don't want us > to have a half-converted subsystem in the kernel. ofcourse yes. I also donot want to be a maintainer of half converted subsystem. :) i am thinking, after it is in the linux-next for a few days and seeing any effects of these changes I will start with the other drivers. and after all drivers are converted and that is also in next for sufficient days I will start with the cleanup of the old codes. And then there are some pending bugs in bugzilla. I am also planning to add the code for epst in paride (i saw in many forums that people are not able to use their scanner on latest kernels). regards sudip > > thanks, > > greg k-h
