all right
but i try to test with pacience, but i am newer in module compilation and paths
if you create a topic only for the device 4353 is better.

and obvios, ever... sorry for the bad english, but a talk from brazil.

if you can, try to post the step by step for the path aplication..
for the diff file and the path file... i know to aply the path for the
path comand (path <# file)
but i dont know the essencial.

if you send me modules for test. tks.
and the steps
