Attached is a patch against 2.4.4 which updates nm256_audio driver to use the newer, and maintained, ac97 codec driver. I'm interested in feedback and testing on this patch -- there should be _no_ change in behavior. If nm256 worked before, it should work now. If nm256 didn't work before, it probably will remain broken after this patch. [there is a slight chance this patch fixes problems, though....] Note this patch includes changes found in the 'ac' tree, notably Marcus' update to the new PCI API. -- Jeff Garzik | Game called on account of naked chick Building 1024 | MandrakeSoft |
