Plans? I plan on using it, and learning a little more about the kernel. I don't want to rule out the possibility of it being in the main kernel. If it does get to the main kernel, someone else would probably take care of little changes, like the URB callback stuff. That would be nice :) With all of the #ifdef's creeping in, I'm thinking of doing some autoconf macros to spot the differences and using #ifdef HAVE_xxx instead of having to figure out the correct kernel version for these things. Should be able to get the info from the headers .... I started out trying automake, but it was insisting on things that didn't work with a kernel Makefile :( It should be doable with autoconf though. In the short term, it _has_ to work with my Fedora Core [34] and CentOS 5.2 boxes, along with my 8800. I have a 6200, 7100, 8700, and 8800 that I test with. Oh, and a 6710 which is not relevant for the module but is my "gold standard" for the serial protocol, along with the rfcomm bluetooth of the newer devices. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email is sponsored by the Moblin Your Move Developer's challenge Build the coolest Linux based applications with Moblin SDK & win great prizes Grand prize is a trip for two to an Open Source event anywhere in the world http://moblin-contest.org/redirect.php?banner_id=100&url=/ _______________________________________________ Barry-devel mailing list Barry-devel@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/barry-devel
