The mailing list use to be run by Louis Zamora who use to work for
Computone. Guess I need to deal with that and move it to some of my
own hardware. I hadn't realized it was out of commission.

Good question. Probably someone jumping the gun a bit because
I haven't been very active on that driver lately. I do tend to drop
off the radar for months at a time, depending on other projects and
engagements. I haven't done updates to the driver in the 2.6 kernel
and, yes, it is broken.

Marcelo integrated my 2.4 patches and I've got testers running
that code now. I've got a 2.6 patch that integrates those fixes and
fixes some 2.6 problems. In the course of working on the 2.6 patch
I stumbled onto another problem that had to be retrofitted back into
the 2.4 patch which, fortunately, made it into the patch I gave to
Marcelo. I'm looking over a couple of other changes that went in with
that 2.4 update. I'll try and get a patch out in a couple of days
against 2.6.10.
