So cloning that tree, forward porting those virtual drivers and send me the patches would be a good way to learn and also great for the newbies community. Even you can fork that tree and try to maintain yourself :) Good luck Javier _______________________________________________ Kernelnewbies mailing list Kernelnewbies@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://lists.kernelnewbies.org/mailman/listinfo/kernelnewbies
