I am going to do some work on this next week (I am going skiing, and I will do this in the evening). I hope to come back with something that at least compiles cleanly. I will not have the kit to test with me on the trip, but I will start testing when I get back. I have no idea now well connected I will be next week, so if I hit a problem it may have to wait until I return. I am working against a Debianised 2.6.4 kernel in the first instance, I will move to a later one when I have done the basic conversion. David BTW, I am still only getting mail that is explictly addressed to me, not mail that is for the list in general.
