Do you think those changesets will make it into 2.6.38 at some point? I'm asking because this is where the technisat-driver is currently residing on his way into the kernel. I understand that there is a problem in this branch, but still I'd like to see the technisat-usb2 being merged. I'm getting a little bit desperate. :-( Can I do something to help? best regards, -- Patrick Boettcher - KernelLabs http://www.kernellabs.com/
