What you don't tell is, that this implementation is in recent 2.4-ac kernels and thus it has a fair chance of being incorporated in plain 2.4 or 2.6 sometime. Of course you are right that Linus didn't like it. He just has *very* different view on this matter compared to yours. Let's just hope that this thing crawls into mainline. regards Markus -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
