No problem..I can send you the files if you like...I patched them by hand, but I
don't know how to create a patch file per-se
I've got this working on 2.2.6, 2.2.9, 2.2.12 and 2.2.13

in /usr/src/linux/include/linux/major.h set:
#define IGEL_FLASH_MAJOR 62
use this number to create your devices in /dev also:
mknod /dev/fla b 62 0
mknod /dev/fla1 b 62 1
mknod /dev/fla2 b 62.2
mknod /dev/fla3 b 62 3
mknod /dev/fla4 b 62 4
Also, note the DOC drivers still use Binary file only available from M-Systems -
not open source.
Check out the MTD stuff for an open source alternative - I've used it and it works
great..but I
haven't installed it yet on our new system (too much to do!)
Thanks and good luck,
Ralph
