Mmm, do you know if the POP patches (http://penguinppc.org/dev/pop) are included in any of the above ? The above page dates from june 24, and contains patches for a 2.4.18 kernel only. I wrote to Tom Gall, but got no answer from him. In particular, i would be interested in a 2.5 kernel wich include those patches. Friendly, Sven Luther
