ASAP is ASAP. Is it possible to have ti_usb serial driver patched with adoption of request_firmware()? I've posted rfc patch month+ ago. Even shown up author of the driver requested just to split emacs' visiting and the rest. One useful thing may be to have a file in doc/ expaining how to have this driver working. Smart upstream guys implemented function, that helps to get rid of udev on installatin of the driver is in 2.6.19. A set of devices, covered by this driver is small, thus udev issues are minor, documentation is sufficient. Author's comments are here: Message-ID: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Now i'm back after many successive disasters in rl and i can finish this up. But it can happen only in case of "ASAP" expanding on this.
