Hi David! Maybe you could/should contact sourceforge, too? On the other hand, shipping it to some other place may cost so much and would be so much trouble that it simply doesn't pay off? My experience shows me that it is best to try to give such stuff as a gift to some local Linux/Unix user g

I'll ask once again, as well. I'm willing to provide a patch against kernel.org 2.6.11.8 for a very incomplete and guaranteed non-functional envctrl driver for the E450 to anybody willing to run it on their system, report results back to me and be the least bit responsive to testing modifications.

Hello all, I, like many other people, would really like to see support for the E450 in envctrl. But as nobody seems to be working on this at the moment, I thought offering an incentive may help. So to the first person[s] to implement the support, I will pay $100 (US). OK, so that isn't a lot o
