Hi Jeff,

I produced a new
http://vouters.dyndns.org:8080/Intel/intel-536EP-2.56.76.0_2008_08_12.tar.bz2

This includes your changes and mines. Would you be so kind as to test
this under the latest 2.6.26 stable kernel before I submit the
compressed source code to linmodems ?

About proc_root, if I can rely upon
http://opensource.wolfsonmicro.com/pipermail/touch-commits/2008-May.txt
it says:"

    proc: remove proc_root from drivers
    
    Remove proc_root export.  Creation and removal works well if parent PDE is
    supplied as NULL -- it worked always that way.
    
    So, one useless export removed and consistency added, some drivers created
    PDEs with &proc_root as parent but removed them as NULL and so on.

So I removed the use of &proc_root in coredrv/coredrv.c and tested it
under a 2.6.25 kernel. Needless to tell you this works great; after you
uninstall the 536EP driver you won't see /proc/ham. After installing
the driver, you see this file.

Many thanks to you for your work which did help.
Kind regards,
