Hi, all. Version 13 of my devfs patch is now available from:
http://www.atnf.csiro.au/~rgooch/kernel-patches.html

This is against 2.1.79. Highlights of this release:

- added devfs support to soundcard driver
Thanks to Eric Dumas <dumas@linux.eu.org> and
C. Scott Ananian <cananian@alumni.princeton.edu>

- added devfs support to the joystick driver

- loop driver now has it's own subdirectory "/dev/loop/"

- created <devfs_get_flags> and <devfs_set_flags> functions

- fix problem with SCSI disc compatibility names (sd{a,b,c,d,e,f})
which assumes ID's start at 0 and increase by 1. Also only create
devfs entries for SCSI disc partitions which actually exist
Show new names in partition check
Thanks to Jakub Jelinek <jj@sunsite.ms.mff.cuni.cz>

Regards,

Richard....
