I believe GregKH maintains that directory and by design it has much more liberal acceptance criteria than the rest of the kernel. The idea is to get marginal drivers into the kernel, so they can be refined until they are appropriate for full inclusion. I have not been through the process but it seems like it might be good way to move forward for you. <http://kerneltrap.org/Linux/Introducing_the_Linux_Staging_Tree> Greg -- Greg Freemyer Head of EDD Tape Extraction and Processing team Litigation Triage Solutions Specialist http://www.linkedin.com/in/gregfreemyer Preservation and Forensic processing of Exchange Repositories White Paper - <http://www.norcrossgroup.com/forms/whitepapers/tng_whitepaper_fpe.html> The Norcross Group The Intersection of Evidence & Technology http://www.norcrossgroup.com -- To unsubscribe from this list: send an email with "unsubscribe kernelnewbies" to ecartis@xxxxxxxxxxxx Please read the FAQ at http://kernelnewbies.org/FAQ
