Subject: 2.4.29 sk98lin patch for Asus K8W SE Deluxe
Date: 02 Mar 2005 14:00:30 -0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <873bvdbtdt.fsf@ceramic.fifi.org> (raw)
The EEPROM (or whatever that is) on Asus K8V SE Deluxe motherboards
contains buggy firmware. This buggy firmware has one flipped bit, and
causes the sk98lin driver refuses to work correctly. Please look at
this thread:
http://www.ussg.iu.edu/hypermail/linux/kernel/0404.0/1439.html
It contains a patch for 2.6 that fixs the problem. Enclosed is a copy
of this patch for 2.4.29. Please consider applying.
Phil.
