Description Vince Negri 2005-08-09 14:47:25 UTC 
NetCell's Matt Gillette submitted a small patch against 2.6.13-rc3 to LKML on
the 16th July 2005:

http://lkml.org/lkml/2005/7/16/45

This patch was included in the Fedora core rawhide builds as of early this month.

I have inspected the SUSE 10 beta 1 kernel sources and (unless I am mistaken)
the patch has not yet made it into the SUSE tree.

Since the patch merely adds PCI ID recognition for a device that the kernel can
already support, there is very low risk in including this patch. It would be
very useful to myself and some colleagues to have "out of the box" support for
the NetCell cards in SuSE 10.
Comment 1 Hubert Mantel 2005-08-09 15:09:01 UTC 
Please submit the patch as attachment in raw, usable format. The html-ized
version from your link is unusable for us and I do not intent to type the patch
line by line.

My apologies - I wasn't thinking.
Comment 3 Vince Negri 2005-08-10 14:08:31 UTC 
The patch attached to the previous comment is against 2.6.13-rc3. 

Is this the desired base point, or should the patch be made against 2.6.12
(which is the base tarball used in the 10 beta 1 src RPM?)

Patch with whitespace issues fixed

The previous patch, as taken off the list, did not apply cleanly without -l
option. I have edited the patch to fix this.
Comment 5 Hubert Mantel 2005-09-07 15:36:44 UTC 
With our update to 2.6.13, we already have this ;)
Comment 6 Vince Negri 2005-09-07 15:52:32 UTC 
Great! So it should be in the release candidate for me to test? :)
Comment 7 Vince Negri 2005-10-09 19:03:00 UTC 
Tested and working with RC1
