Not relevant to your problem but the only thing I know for sure is in the netwinder tree but not the RMK tree is the dallas 1-wire bus driver for the risc-PC ID chip. RMK refused to let this in o the kernel, insisting that it was a job for the boot-loader. It is necesary to make the etherM network card word (as that's how it generates its MAC address). This wouldn't matter except that only RMK can realistically update the !Linux RPC boot-loader and he generally isn't. Personally I don't agree that this isn't something perfectly reasonably managed by the kernel. If' you are making a patch (or a set of patches), try slipping this one in again :-) Wookey -- Aleph One Ltd, Bottisham, CAMBRIDGE, CB5 9BA, UK Tel +44 (0) 1223 811679 work: http://www.aleph1.co.uk/ play: http://www.chaos.org.uk/~wookey/
