Antonio,
What kernel changes are there for 2.6.34? Anything significant that
affects modem drivers?
Owing to work commitments, I'm afraid I only do patches when someone
reports a compilation failure against a new kernel. If there are definite
errors (other than the include/asm/mach-default one), could you please
forward them to me and I will fix.
Best regards,
Robert
