In-Reply-To: <007601c2fecd$12209070$230110ac@kaws> Message-ID: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Sender: linux-kernel-owner@vger.kernel.org X-Mailing-List: linux-kernel@vger.kernel.org Funny you mention this point! I just spent 30-45 minutes on the phone talking to Jens about this very issue. Jens states he can map the model in to 2.5. and will give it a fling in a bit. This issue is a must; however, I had given up on the idea until 2.7. However, the issues he and I addressed, in combination to your request jive in sync.
