I will have a look at the driver. Petrs Mail address should be petr.novak@i.cz Petr wrote the driver and handed them to the i4l crew.

If it works we may take it into CVS. > ACPI and NE2000 seems to be ok... > many thanx. > -- > -- > bye, > Guido Trentalancia > please reply via email > Werner - : send the line "unsubscribe linux-net" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org
