I have not written that patch, but tested and applied it against 3.4.36 where it worked fine. But i am unable to apply it to 3.4.46 (there are rejects if i try to apply it, obviously because there were changes in the meanwhile) - It would be cool if someone could tell if that patch is really needed anymore with 3.4.46. I am no C coder and only have little C experience, but i'd like to use this patch with current 3.4 stable Kernel or at least make sure that this patch is not needed anymore with current stable kernels... -- Mit freundlichen Grüßen, Florian Wiessner Smart Weblications GmbH Martinsberger Str. 1 D-95119 Naila fon.: +49 9282 9638 200 fax.: +49 9282 9638 205 24/7: +49 900 144 000 00 - 0,99 EUR/Min* http://www.smart-weblications.de -- Sitz der Gesellschaft: Naila Geschäftsführer: Florian Wiessner HRB-Nr.: HRB 3840 Amtsgericht Hof *aus dem dt.
