RE: Update FarSync WAN driver in 2.6

Hi Jeff,
	the FarSync driver updates in the 2.4 and 2.6 Kernels is
becoming a little more critical.  Please can you make your best efforts
to incorporate it into the next release of each.


Kind Regards

Hi,
	looks as though the 2.6.4-pre1 patch has changed farsync.c,
which is probably why the patch will not apply.  I would re-work the
patch against this release.

	What is the status of the 2.4.x patch that I sent a while back?
I still need to make one more change to it.  I need to know if to resend
the whole patch, or a n additional patch with the change?

hum...  Patch looks OK to appy, but does not apply against the latest 
2.6.x kernel.

Also, it is possible to split your patch into two pieces:  one patch 
with nothing but indentation/whitespace cleanups, and the other patch 
with functional changes?
