> We've had worse kernel bugs in official releases! Please document the change that made it into an official release that broke every user of a given piece of hardware, regardless of kernel configuration or chip revision of said hardware, and was performed by the vendor of that hardware. It doesn't happen, because vendors know they will get lynched if they don't at least reboot into the changes they are submitting and perform basic smoke tests. It doesn't happen unless you exert zero testing on your changes and all the vendors have been giving me an earfull in the past about how good quality control is only really obtainable if the vendor maintains the Linux driver. And this just proves such claims dead wrong and that vendors do cut corners. They make the same mistakes any non-vendor maintainer of a device driver might make. - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe netdev" in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
