Thanks for the info. I wrote the 810 driver. I agree 100% w/ Jean that we can't apply the patch without getting info on why it works. If somebody took our code, fixed a bug, and didn't feed it back to us that's pretty rude. I think I have an 810 board somewhere, if I get a chance I will see if our code still works. But I'm not inclined to try and figure out from the patch what it's supposed to "fix" (and on what version of the 810 chip). As far as having your patch available to others, it's in our mailing list archive. mds Detlef Conradin wrote: >>>>the same in 2.7.0 and 2.8.0. Only the get family was changed.
