I guess a quick note on the history of this patch is in order here. It was originally done for a Debian 2.6.8 kernel, based on a patch for the 2.4 series from Owen Stampflee [http://www.stampflee.com/kernel] (see also Debian Bug report #298075) simply by identifying the bits with correspoding functionality and following what had to be added to add the same functionality as was added by the 2.4 patch. For Ubuntu kernels up to Breezy that original version has applied with only a shift of line numbering, the 2.6.15 kernel in Dapper has changed the macro definition that says we are on a Mac, so that had to be edited manually. I would therefore be very surprised if the patch could not apply to a more recent kernel with at most line offsets. -- +------------------------+-------------------------------+---------+ | James Tappin | School of Physics & Astronomy | O__ | | [EMAIL PROTECTED] | University of Birmingham | -- \/` | | Ph: 0121-414-6462.
