Re: Experiences with my patched driver

[Cristian Bradiceanu <cbredi@lasting.ro>]

I have the same problem. The data stops, sync goes from 0x7f to 0 ... 5
using driver 0.04. Kernel 2.2.14. I'll try 2.3.99. Could you please tell
me what changes you made to the driver?

Thanks!

Best regards,
Cristian Bradiceanu
