I got win4lin working with 7.1 but it was definetly not easy.

The support was good, at least they responded in a timely manner, no answers, just responses. Then when I upgraded to SuSE 7.2 win4lin stopped as expected, but I have not had the chance to get it going. I contacted netraverse for a kernel patch and they responded promptly that they may do one eventually. It is a shame, because this is an excellent product.

I wonder what is so special with win4lin kernel patch that they could not try to get it to vanilla kernel?
I mean, Samba has made it to get support by official kernel tree, why would "Support for Windows application" make any difference -- if Netraverse only released this little patch under GPL that is...

Don't they have to? Isn't it only modules that can be binary only? As I read the GPL, patches have to be GPLed, or have I misunderstood something? Anders
