Is this already in the 2.6.19 git tree? If not, please persuade the authors to get it upstream. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug, or are watching someone who is.

Any new device support that was added by adding new drivers to the upstream kernel, we can not add at this point in time, sorry. You, however, can create a kernel module package that adds this new driver very easily.
