As for me, I have no great problem w/ the whole batch going to 2.6.22. The driver is still new and most acknowledge it still has significant defficiencies. Most (but probably not all) of the patches would seem to fit some definition of bug fix anyway. I was just trying to err on the side of caution and follow the normal "bugfixes in -rc" process. Jeff, the branch in question is based off a vanilla 2.6.22-rc3. So it is safe to pull (from a "won't mess-up my tree" perspective) if you are so inclined. John -- John W.
