Dear Phil, Thanks for the "good job". These words always sound very rewarding :) Please read my reply to Dan's message. I have decided to go through a different approach and make two patches for the semaphores => condition variables and a third for removing a duplicate 'if' statement in that rtw_cmd_thread() where now we have the semaphores. As I wrote in that reply, I hope that you and Dan agree with me on this different approach to fix rtw_cmd_thread(). Thanks, Fabio > I agree with Dan's > feedback also - will wait for the final patchset then give it a test for > you :-) Apologies I've been a little on the quiet side as of late. P.S.: No need to apologize at all :) I had noticed that you haven't been around for a while. I would have appreciated a review from you (and Larry) on the series of 32 patches that Pavel Skripkin and I co-developed and submitted some weeks ago. However, I am 100% sure that you really had some important reasons for not being here. > > Regards, > Phil >
