Hi Darrin, Thanks for reply.
The reason is that we have bunch of files integrated with 4.0 and it would take us months to upgrade to 4.2 again. we just finished from 3.3 to 4.0 of upgrade few months ago, plus months of test to stabilize our 4.0 based applications. Should we just isolate one by one manually as safety approach? Any CVS that we can trace for what files been changed for specific drivers? E.g., 4.0->4.1.
