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 -- it includes additional changes to the ac97_codec driver which may fix some problems with certain nm256 AC97 chipsets. Note this patch includes changes found in the 'ac' tree, notably Marcus' update to the new PCI API. Note this patch is labelled "alternate" because the previous patch will go out Alan if testing proves it is ok. This patch still needs a bit of work to be perfect for a select few ac97 codecs... -- Jeff Garzik | Game called on account of naked chick Building 1024 | MandrakeSoft |
