Brad House wrote: any reason why it's not against the v1.6 ? the current driver is missing support for the 8110S chip (or at least it doesn't seem to work at all), so you're cutting out all the chips on the mobos out there. Haven't looked to see if it's just a PCI ID or other functionality, but since the V1.2 is from realtek that's in the official kernel, it would make sense to use the 1.6 patch.... I suppose I could do it, but it would take me much more time simply because I'm not familiar with the changes you're making. He's doing the work, and he included 1.6 in his list of changes... looks like everybody will be happy :)
