I don't care to maintain any of the drivers with my name on them anymore partly because of such problems. I imagine if you keep posting the patch to the list it will someday reach kernel.org, since apparently being the author of a driver doesn't mean your patches will be applied nowdays. good luck! :) ani On Wed, 1 Oct 2003, Peter Chubb wrote: > > > Try this patch that's been floating around for a while. > > Ani, can you please push this patch to Linus?
