Thank you.

In fact I successfully compiled this driver (latest 1126 version) with
a 2.6.35 kernel from ubuntu 10.10 . It seems to work ok, except some
freezing sometimes while booting with the stick installed on the PC.
It also compiles with the same kernel on a 64 bits system, with a lot
of errors, but does not work at all (freezes immediately). It is
precised in the doc of the realtek linux driver that this is a 32 bits
driver.
Can you warn if the usb stick is in the samples sent from Realtek?
If necessary, I can test your 64 bits converted driver on my system
and give you the results in order to fix it.

Eric

PS: sorry for the reply-to-all forgetting. I realized that one minute
after and resent my email to the ML also ;).
