We have a more or less complete rewrite of the original drivers, with proper memory management etc. (the original drivers have lots of strange issues). Unfortunately, the drivers are not yet in a state that we can release them for review - we are searching for somebody who is interested in sponsoring our remaining effort. So if somebody is interested, please drop me a note. rsc -- Pengutronix e.K. | | Industrial Linux Solutions | http://www.pengutronix.de/ | Peiner Str. 6-8, 31137 Hildesheim, Germany | Phone: +49-5121-206917-0 | Amtsgericht Hildesheim, HRA 2686 | Fax: +49-5121-206917-5555 | -- ptxdist mailing list [email protected]
