Yes. (-:
Embedded companies tend to use very old kernels. Usually 2.6.10-2.6.18 range. This is the fist time someone using MIPS architecture came up with a 2.6.27 kernel and linking failed hence my patch. I only personally test compilation across all kernels (2.6.10-latest) on x86 so I miss things like that happening...

Sorry about that!!! I sent the patch using Pine and thought I was safe on that front but I probably did something wrong. )))-:

Great, thanks!
