[patch] patch-2.4.1-irda4 (irlap speed)

2001-02-08 Thread Dag Brattli
Linus, Here is a patch that fixes some IrDA problems with speed changes in the IrLAP layer, and also a missing kfree's in all of the IrDA device drivers. This patch is also credited Jean Tourrilhes. It's been tested for a month or so by the Linux-IrDA mailing-list, and found to be working OK.
