Darrick Hi Darrick, that means that the watchdog feature of the net5501 will be supported in a future version of Astlinux with a newer kernel. Is that right? It's no problem for me right now, I just asked because I didn't found that process.

If you send me directions, I'll try to enable it for trunk... -Philip - This SF.Net email is sponsored by the Moblin Your Move Developer's challenge Build the coolest Linux based applications with Moblin SDK win great prizes Grand prize is a trip for two to an Open Source event anywhere in the world http://moblin-contest.org/redirect.php?banner_id=100url=/ ___ Astlinux-users mailing list Astlinux-users@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/astlinux-users Donations to support AstLinux are graciously accepted via PayPal to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
