Unfortunately no substantial code additions related to LP have been checked in so far - the reverse engineering is complete, but Michael is the only person working on converting the specs to code, and he's too busy to work on LP. (Should someone send me a Dell 1395, I could probably start working on it, but I'm busy with zd1211rw & iwlagn right now.) > > -- > Regards > dave > -- > To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-wireless" in > the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org > More majordomo info at ?http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html > -- Vista: [V]iruses, [I]ntruders, [S]pyware, [T]rojans and [A]dware. :-)
