The driver version that is included in the kernel (and has been patched a bit I'm sure since it's been in there a while) is version 2.09. The latest version (3.08 beta) can be obtained from: the easiest way is to get diff -u 2.09 3.08 and port it by hand, at least I ususally do it this way. > ftp://ftp.comtrol.com/beta/rport/drivers/u_pci/linux/rocketport-linux-3.08.tar.gz > > If anyone has any helpful pointers (no pun intended) or comments on the code, I'd love to listen. Convert to pci probing and in-kernel firmware loading :). The code is big mess due to ifdefs and much unneeded material, it's likely impossible to say this is wrong and this not, if you won't post a patch, where people will see the changes you want to make. Then you will have feedback :). regards, -- Jiri Slaby (jirislaby@gmail.com) Faculty of Informatics, Masaryk University - 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/
