Description Julian Sikorski 2007-05-20 12:49:35 UTC

Description of problem:
Current fedora kernels include tifm modules from vanilla kernels, which do not
work very reliably. Working modules can be downloaded here:
http://developer.berlios.de/projects/tifmxx
They work much better and can be used as a replacement for buggy driver included
in 2.6.20 kernel. They are being merged for 2.6.22 anyway, so including them now
would save users some pain while waiting for the new upstream kernel to come out.

rebase to .22 is underway, should land later this week.

Comment 2 Julian Sikorski 2007-08-08 12:18:50 UTC

Fixed with the rebase indeed. Closing.
