Forgive my delay. Too much going on.
Nikolay mentioned in this note that he was going to make a change to one
of the "mdv" (I believe 7mdv) series files and make it available. Can
someone tell me if this is done and what the file is?
Thanks.

All,
First, a correction. The patches I supplied didn't break the
backward compatibility in this particular case. The patches
were against the "4mdv" tarball available at the Zsolt's site.
The "4mdv" has the serial26.c file with the following code
around the line 990:
<<<<
receive_chars(struct uart_8250_port *up, int *status, struct pt_regs *regs)
{
struct tty_struct *tty = up->port.info->port.tty;
The older kernels (< 2.6.26) will not compile that, because they have a
different definition of the struct uart_info. Those interested in the older
kernels may have better luck with the "2mdv" sources (agrsm-2.1.80-2mdv2009.0.src.rpm).
This is how the same code looks in the "2mdv" serial26.c:
<<<<
receive_chars(struct uart_8250_port *up, int *status, struct pt_regs *regs)
{
struct tty_struct *tty = up->port.info->tty;
Second, a clarification. The patches I posted to the list do not add support for
more chipsets. They 1) do a little clean up of the source build system, 2) get
rid of some warning messages that clutter the output, and 3) make it so that the
sources build successfully for the more recent kernels.
Note also that "build successfully" does not necessarily mean "function
properly". I've built them against 2.6.{27,28,29} and verified that wvdialconf
reports success. I didn't do any more testing beyond that.
So, if the "2mdv"/"4mdv" sources didn't support your chipsets, the "7mdv" is not
likely to support them either.
Testing was needed to verify that the "7mdv" didn't break anything that was
working before in the "2mdv"/"4mdv" sources. Also, Marvin injected the 630 (or
was it 620?) chipset along with my patch in the hopes that it might just work
[as it sometimes do] but it didn't.
Martin,
The patch is not coming yet, I will get back to this issue in a few days.
