Hi everybody,

I was wondering if it would be possible to get the driver for Texas Instrument FlashMedia Cardreaders in the next version of openSUSE. The driver is available at http://developer.berlios.de/projects/tifmxx/ (Version 0.6 so far) and I tested it on 10.2; it works perfect.On the web page it's mentioned that never versions are part of the main kernel... but so far, with 2.6.20-rc5 I did not manage to get that thing working. (ok: I did not compile an own kernel on my Notebook yet....)

If it's part of 2.6.20 or 21, it will be in 10.3 - and if we forgot to enable it, please file a bugreport. We want to reduce the external kernel patches and would like to have everything in the upstream kernel.

It would be very nice to get support for many more card readers by this driver (TI FM is, as far as I could fine, used in many notebooks, like for example the IBM/Lenovo ThinkPad z61m)

Then let's really get it into the official Linus kernel, Andreas -- Andreas Jaeger, aj@suse.de, http://www.suse.de/~aj/ SUSE Linux Products GmbH, Maxfeldstr. 5, 90409 Nürnberg, Germany GPG fingerprint = 93A3 365E CE47 B889 DF7F FED1 389A 563C C272 A126
