If you have to know why I didn't send a patch yet, it's because I'm working on a patch for an Atheros chip at the moment. That's also why I didn't do much with Ted's stuff and other things since yesterday. I did read the e-mails.
I figured one could partake in the community when their schedule permitted. Maybe I'm wrong on that front as it seems like I should be hacking 24/7 and should have submitted patches to finish the RThreads code to even be allowed to post to the list. I simply requested the account on that persons system because I offered to help maintain the task list. I've not been contacted so I assume they're not interested.
