Presumably that > code was there for a reason.. Actually I think this patch needs to be handled delicately -- because based on earlier emails from Jesse (http://www.mail-archive.com/netdev@vger.kernel.org/msg22254.html), I am pretty sure that "pattern" is a typo for "patent". So I guess the question is what exactly the patent covers and what the implications of having the current kernel code are. - R. - 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/
