Unfortunately, Andre's patch includes an important BUGFIX which must go into 2.4 (CompactFlash hang/IRQ storm on pcmcia-PCI adapter card).
Despite I'm sending this bugifx for several months now it is not included yet!
I understand Andre would like to get the whole patch accepted as I have no evidence he ever submitted my isolated (about 3-liner) bugfix.
Andre, what are your plans concerning 2.4 ? - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
