You can obtain this tree, a set of Quilt patches, here: http://kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/gregkh/patches.git/ (If you need help getting the patchset, email me personally and I'll walk you though it) Now there do appear to be several other drivers on the webpage you mentioned, and I'm not sure if all of those others are supported. Greg could probably clear that up. But the 2860 support is coming. ~J.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/
