I have neither, but I had a backup of the sources. So yeah if I put those
two back in the fresh sources and I build the kernel it goes fine. And then
that kernel boots fine as well. So could it be possible to have the changes
you made in that driver integrated to the distribution driver? Surely it'd be
cleaner this way rather than me keeping that copy. Besides, I guess it
could happen that one day it doesn't even build anymore after a pull
because it's not compatible anymore with the distribution, right?
Now another problem is the ethernet driver, I'm still getting a mac address
of 0000000000 with the distribution driver, which seems to be a problem
to reach the outside world depending on which LAN I'm connected to.
I guess I could also rebuild a kernel with my previous working driver (which
has the hw address hardcoded in), but it also seems like something you
had fixed I think, and which could as well be added to the sources if
it works...
