Thanks, Punky. About how far off is the next kernel release? -----Original Message----- From: Kim-man 'Punky' TSE [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Friday, June 23, 2006 2:21 AM To: mgrollman Cc: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: [Voyage-linux] GPIO on Soekris 4801-type systems
Hi Michael, I noted Jim Cromie's patch already, and will include in the next kernel release. Unfortunately, I am not very interested in GPIO. I won't be testing it. But I think some other people working on it. (Solomon and Bill?) But they are on WRAP platform.
