When I compile support for my hardware sensor using 2.4.4-ac12 and the
latest CVS i2c and lm-sensors2 I get the following errors about

The 2.2.20-pre2 patch doesn't change time.c, and I don't see
this code in 2.4.4 or 2.4.5pre.

fdatasync guarantees "important" inode data too. The only thing that
fdatasync is allowed to skip is the timestamps.

There is such a web page, and it's the .html version of the Hardware-HOWTO
on any LDP mirror.
Some distribution even print it and include with their booklets accompanying
the installation CDs.
Make sure you send case reports about any unsupported crap hardware there...

Hi Mr Morton and all linux-kernel,
I have been experimenting with the 3C905C, trying
to get rid of the annoying e401 error (too much work
