Dear Alan and Greg,
I saw via lwn.net that 2.6.8-rc2 was just released and, unfortunately, it
didn't include the patch below, which is necessary for my USB Drive to work
correctly with the VIA southbridge on my desktop computer.
Is the patch being reviewed and/or considered for inclusion in future
kernels? BTW, how do I know when a patch is approved or rejected?
Thank you very much for all your help, Rog�rio Brito.
