According to the CVS logs, there were no updates from Montavista since the initial commit back in July 2002. If there are changes that should make their way to our repository, please let us know. > 2) Has anyone successfully insmoded the i2c-algo_ibm_ocp and > i2c-adap-ibm_ocp modules together?

This requires specific hardware we don't have, so it is unlikely any of us could try these modules. From my understanding, the adapter needs the algorithm, and not the other way around. That's the way it seems to work in our version of the driver. Maybe you could give it a try? > 3) There have been several inquiries about using a host/bus in slave > mode.

I don't think anyone worked seriously on this. Anyway, this is far over my knowledge, so I can't help. -- Jean Delvare http://www.ensicaen.ismra.fr/~delvare/
