Christoph, i know you did the porting of this driver to powerpc, and
added the modularization of it. Could you please send it to me (or
better yet, add it to the subversion repo in a "not-yet-applied patches"
part of it) so i can test it here ?
If you did so, then i must be blind or something, but i don't think it
is, and what good is the new supposedly improved driver over the patch
that we had, if it solely reside on your harddisk ?
Friendly,
Sven Luther
