Hi, This won't help you with your PBL 5.1, but... I'm still trying to do my best to keep this machine supported by subsequent kernel versions, actually running linux-3.4 on mine. Nothing new here since a few releases back, except for smartcard pins available as GPIO, ready for being driven from userspace over the /sys/ API. Perhaps someone ever finds some spare time to write a "driver" for it. > How about defconfigs with full (or as much as > possible) hardware support? The one I posted a few months ago generally still works for me, please examine the list archives. > I am happy cross compiling a kernel...
