They had a series of patches which did two things, firstly they extended the scx200 support to include the SC1100, and then they added in some lmsensors stuff (which works on 2.4 but not 2.6) for the nscacb bus and the lm87 which microtik use. The basic patches have now been included in the mainstream kernel (as of 2.6.7-rc3), and while I did not author them but merely brought them to Andrew Morton's attention they have been entered in my name. Someone else produced an lm87 driver for 2.6, and I am working on getting the nscacb driver working (but I have had some other things I had to get done first). David
