Hi,
I've just downloaded 2.5.52 to try the new module parameter
support. Unfortunately, the letter 'c' was not implemented, and I need
it. This is used in few drivers (such as hp100, wavelan, wlan_cs...).
I've only checked that with this patch my hp100 cards load
fine, but I didn't test the various corner cases.
Have fun...
Jean
