I need to roll this usb-cdc-acm performance patch into that and get it on a box with several ISDN modems. The whole upgrade to 2.6.14rc2 seems to be a real mess (re: thread I'm in the middle of over on fedora-devel over the kudzu catch-22). As soon as that's available, I'll try giving it a hammering. > Dave One BIG question... This is vis-a-vis the kudzu conflict vs 2.6.13 kernels being beat on over on the fedora-devel list. On what side of the fence will this 2.6.13.2 kernel fall? Does it conflict with the kudzu currently with the 2.6.12 kernels? Will this 2.6.13.2 kernel provide us with a stepping stone past the kernel <-> kudzu catch-22 critical dependency? The 2.6.13-1.1567 kernel (which is really the 2.6.14rc2 kernel) conflicts with the existing kudzu. The kudzu from rawhide conflicts with any kernel < 2.6.13. Sooo... Is it real or is it memorex? Is it really < 2.6.13 or is it really < 2.6.14rc2? What happens in the boundary condition we appear to be approaching? Mike -- Michael H.
