It worked!
Wow, it is kind of incredible that you can get a fix for a driver for a 13
year old computer. Thanks a lot. You'd never guess how important this is to
me. I am blind and I will need to get a new guide dog in a few months. That
takes 3 weeks. I will need to take my laptop with me and I was very much
hoping to be able to use the docking station. I work as a systems
administrator and this fix will make it much easier for me to provide
emergency support while I am away.
Again, thank you very much.

Subject: Re: possible bug in pd6729
Hi,
So I am now compileing a 2.6.29 kernel. The only problem is I cannot apply
the patch (rreproduced below). I cut it out of the email message and
pasted
it into a file named pd6729.patch. I tried to apply the patch like this:
hutson:/usr/src/linux# patch -p1 </tmp/pd6729.patch
patching file drivers/pcmcia/pd6729.c
<Hunk #1 FAILED at 641.
1 out of 1 hunk FAILED -- saving rejects to file
drivers/pcmcia/pd6729.c.rej
I am thinking this means applying the patch did not work.
Instead of apply the patch,
could you cut and pasted it to the pd6729.c directly,
and compile the kernel again?
Best Regards
Komuro
