[4] Hmm. I reported a bug on 2006-08-07 ("ISDN/hisax doesn't work on ARM architecture"): http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=6970 There was not much activity there... and the bug is still opened in kernel's bugzilla. However, I received two emails from Andrew Morton on 02.10.2006 - one with a patch, and the second (automated?) which said: The patch titled isdn: work around excessive udelay() has been removed from the -mm tree. Its filename is isdn-work-around-excessive-udelay.patch This patch was dropped because it was merged into mainline or a subsystem tree I'm very happy that the bug was fixed, but why wasn't it automatically closed in bugzilla (I closed it only today as I looked up into bugzilla)? Do we have some wrong communication here? How many bugs are there that are falsely opened, when in reality they were resolved long ago? -- Tomasz Chmielewski http://wpkg.org
