I think that driver will be merged in the 3.17 kernel release, can you look in the linux-next release to see if it is there? Larry, what's the status of your rewrite for this code? thanks, greg k-h ___ devel mailing list de...@linuxdriverproject.org http://driverdev.linuxdriverproject.org/mailman/listinfo/driverdev-devel

It is taking longer than I had hoped. Kernel 3.18 is a more realistic time.
