OK (BTW: These were just patches to the open source wrapper of the binary drivers, which has to be GPL, since it's a deriver work - at least to my knowlege, though IANAL, so there should be no part of a proprietary code.) > Please don't do this again or if you do post the patches somewhere and > send a message indicating where they can be found. OK, sorry, won't do that again. (I did so only because not long ago there were some postings here from people unable to compile it with 2.6.15 kernels, so now that I was forced to patch it (for various irrelevant reasons) I thought someone else may want to try it as well. But, OK, wouldn't post it again, no problem.)
