Look in the kernel for the maintainers file, and see if you can see who is responsible for the code. Given that the drivers have stopped working, this is a regression, and it's actually quite a serious bug (or at least, seen as such). If you know who it is - or especially if it's a mailing list! - try pinging them, with a diff of the changes you had to make to get it working. IFF you get a response from that, then there's hopefully a good chance you'll get asked to help fix it, and the problem will go away :-) Cheers, Wol
