Hi Matt and others While packing my stuff for moving out tomorrow (thank god I still have internet connection) I thought about the garbled-stream problem and I got an idea. For me it seems to work now. I switched channels 20 times now and there is no problem anymore. Please give latest CVS a try. Have a look at the CVS log if you are interested what the problem was. Matt, thanks for making me think about this problem. :) I also try to make them include it into the kernel before 2.6.13. I never submitted something for myself, so I cannot guarantee anything. best regards, Patrick. -- Mail: patrick.boettcher@xxxxxxx WWW: http://www.wi-bw.tfh-wildau.de/~pboettch/ On Thu, 18 Aug 2005, Matt Holgate wrote: > On Tue, 16 Aug 2005, Matt Holgate wrote: > >> On Tue, 16 Aug 2005, Patrick Boettcher wrote: >> >>> No, unfortunately my suspicion was wrong.
