An update: ChangeSet@1.408, 2002-05-03 13:18:58-07:00, greg@kroah.com USB io_edgeport driver added support for Black Box OEM devices. > The good work by all contributors not withstanding, it would be very nice if > they could make the summary slightly more useful before sending a patch to > Marcelo, for which I would like to thank everyone in advance ;-) Condensing the patch summary into one line is a tough thing to do. I try to just mention the subsystem and specific driver (if any) on the first line, and then go into the necessary detail on the following lines. That way if someone's interested in that specific subsystem or driver, they can easily search and then later get more detail if they want to. Sound good? thanks, greg k-h
