Kernel 2.6 on the other hand has version 1.02 of this driver which gets very poor preformance (~1.5MB/s.) I would like to know if anyone is working on getting 1.06 into the 2.6 kernel. (I've tried several ways to get it working including copying the .c straight from my kernel and patch posted on this mailing list. Neither worked, it wouldn't compile either time.) If no one is, then this is a request per say. If anyone has time and/or is able to put this new driver into the 2.6 kernel I would be greatly thankful. Thanks alot -JD Gray (KahdgarXI)
