That in the subject line will clue in committers that you have included a patch to fix the problem, so they don't have to do anything but test your code and commit it. Oh, yeah - if you haven't followed style(9), read it and do so before submitting the PR. And yes, having become one of Anthony's "few, isolated cases" you get to call yourself a kernel hacker (jg) now. You don't have to be able to debug device drivers just by looking at the code. That is a truly rare talent, as most of us require a working sample device to do that. <mike -- Mike Meyer <mwm@mired.org> http://www.mired.org/home/mwm/ Independent WWW/Perforce/FreeBSD/Unix consultant, email for more information.
