The patch titled ipaq.c bugfixes has been added to the -mm tree. Its filename is ipaqc-bugfixes.patch See http://www.zip.com.au/~akpm/linux/patches/stuff/added-to-mm.txt to find out what to do about this ------------------------------------------------------ Subject: ipaq.c bugfixes From: Frank Gevaerts <frank.gevaerts@xxxxxx> This patch fixes several problems in the ipaq.c driver with connecting and disconnecting pocketpc devices: * The read urb stayed active if the connect failed, causing nullpointer dereferences later on. * If a write failed, the driver continued as if nothing happened. Now it handles that case the same way as other usb serial devices (fix by Luiz Fernando N.
