There was an RNDIS-only memory leak a while back, fixed in 2.6 code but maybe not in the 2.4 code. You might compare the two drivers; there've been a fair number of minor updates to the 2.6 code for the Ethernet/RNDIS driver, worth getting. > It still doesn't handle or is untested with some of the hardware > features that other chips have.

We'll have to rely on you (and your customers!) to identify problems with that hardware, I guess! > I am still only using 2.4.x kernels, so I don't know how well this will > work in 2.6.x, but I don't expect to many problems.

I think I'll do that just to be sure that this driver is readily available. My "gadget-2.6" tree has a version of this that compiles for 2.6, though of course I can't test it (no n960x hardware). I put it on the "platform" bus ... but that's the older version of this code, without these latest updates. Do your systems have 2.6 ports yet? If so, you could at least sanity test the (soon-to-come) updates. - Dave ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email is sponsored by: Sybase ASE Linux Express Edition - download now for FREE LinuxWorld Reader's Choice Award Winner for best database on Linux. http://ads.osdn.com/?ad_id=5588&alloc_id=12065&op=click _______________________________________________ [EMAIL PROTECTED] To unsubscribe, use the last form field at: https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/linux-usb-devel
