Oh, OK, I understand now. > Kernel 2.4.22 has a patch for i2c-2.8.1, but > for some reason, kernel 2.4.21 only has a patch for i2c-2.8.0. The reason is that I had no time to backport the i2c-2.8.1 patch to 2.4.21. And I'd expect people compiling kernels by themselves to use the latest stable sources available, that is, 2.4.22 for now. This is the reason why I did not feel like wasting my time packporting the patch. > So at this point, anyone running kernel 2.4.21 will be stuck with > version 2.8.0. That said, the backport would be rather easy (it's just a matter of repackaging all the correct files in one convenient patch), so I might consider doing it if it might help people like you. -- Jean Delvare http://www.ensicaen.ismra.fr/~delvare/
