I will dig what you said after finish the schedule about 793 :) Now I got it work on FC5 and FC4, but FC3 met the same problem as i met before, maybe i801 driver missing ICH7 PCI ID, and i'm trying to make it work :( >> Could you do me a favor to review the attached w83793 driver? i think i >> must fix the bugs before do the backport. > > I will just do a "quick" review later today and send you the results. I have in > my queue also VT1211 driver, hopefully I can do both today or in near future. > Thanks, and later a 2.4 version :p -- Best Regards Yuan Mu =========================================================================================== The privileged confidential information contained in this email is intended for use only by the addressees as indicated by the original sender of this email.
