I suspect so too. We can probably do some merging/duplicate-closing. I've CCed all the relevant parties I could find, I'd appreaciate them commenting on if a DAC960 is in their mix. It seems to be mentioned in many of the links provided in the bugs above. > The problem is that on upgrade from a 2.4 kernel to a 2.6 kernel (both > stock Debian packages), all of our machines that use the DAC960 module > stop producing entropy.

That is quite ancient indeed. I did check, and it doesn't seem like it was ever incoporated in the code. I have CCed Dave Olien, the DAC940 maintainer, and lkml for comment. If it appropriate to fix this in the DAC960 driver, they are the right people talk to. -- Horms -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
