I have downloaded both the patch and then the complete source for the

This may be a silly question but it's related vaguely to the above which
has already been brought up. Has anyone had trouble with AIC7XXX support
for 2.0.34? Apparently, there have been many changes since 2.0.33 and it
doesn't seem to work properly for me anymore.

I just installed pcre-dev, newt-dev and slang-dev. It appears that only
