I unplugged my ethernet cable, and I'm sending this via the wireless adapter. If I can get some other patches on this same tree I can test the driver on an arm9 processor (Atmel AT91RM9200). I'll let you know. Any idea when those patches will find there way to the main line kernel? thanks, Paul On Tue, May 13, 2008 at 9:05 PM, Pavel Roskin wrote: > On Tue, 2008-05-13 at 20:50 -0700, Paul Thomas wrote: > [private e-mail not quoted] > > You can apply patches with patch or with StGIT.
