OK, I see, I wish you have some free time in the near future. :-) Since I have some time now, as well as the hardware/software platform, maybe you can give me some guidance as possible as you can, so that I can make it work as soon as possible. :-) > Why are you using 2.4 anyway? 2.6 is much better in many respects. :) There are about two reasons for us to choose 2.4 as our platform: (1) Our custom asked us to make Winbond W83792D chip work on linux-2.4, especially on RedHat 9 at first. (2) It seems that lm_sensors for 2.6 is NOT so mature as 2.4(maybe, just my personal guess ) Thanks Best Regards Chunhao > -----Original Message----- > From: Patrick Mochel [mailto:mochel at digitalimplant.org] > Sent: 2005??1??28?? 01:20 > To: PI14 HUANG0 > Subject: RE: Failed to backport i2c-ali1563.c from linux-2.6 to 2.4 > > > On Thu, 27 Jan 2005 Huang0 at Winbond.com.tw wrote: > > > Hi Patrick Mochel > > > > I want to backport your i2c-ali1563.c from linux-2.6 to 2.4, > > Would you please give me some help?
