i started the porting work by diff'ing the current version of the driver in gutsy to the v9 driver source that i downloaded from marvell. my intial changes were sufficient to build the driver, however i didn't do any actual testing. i passed my initial diffs, my notes, and my patches to airdio. now that the new sdio changes are available from moblin. we ( the lexington team ) need to make sure there are no regressions before asking amit to push both the new sdio stack, and the modified sd8686 driver into the gutsy ppa. at the same time, we also need to send the updated version of the sd8686 driver to airdio, so they can make the same changes to the v9 driver. one question i have is whether or not intel is responsible for providing patches for 2.6.24 ( ie. hardy ), and if so, what's the schedule for this work? thanks, /tony -- Ubuntu-mobile mailing list Ubuntu-mobile@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-mobile
