I have however tested the driver against a few chipsets with 2.6.7 and 2.6.9-rc1-mm4, and it seems to work for me[tm]. I can happily produce the patch for either of these kernels if need be. oh, and the version of the driver I've tested, version 7.07, finally works with tools like pcimodules. -- Terje - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
