The stable patch claiming to correspond to Linus' tree patch
56f7efe48d57dda9e59e23ab161c118271cce815 and merged in 2.6.27.sth
(eyact version not at hand) and 2.6.28.10 differs from the backported
patch I submitted for stable myself. It breaks the driver completely,
causing an oops and system malfunctions as soon as the device is
connected. (Sorry for not noticing the vital difference at the time.)

No problem.

The attached patch would fix the error by moving the code inswrted at
the wrong place by the broken backported patch,, to the correct place
where it went in the original patch.

I see no patch attached here :(

Alternativelyy, the broken backported could be reverted and my
original bacport merged instead, if you can still find it.

I can not.

Sorry for lack of references as i don't have acces to my development
machine from here. Hope to have Cleared up the situation, anyway.

Can you send me what you need applied to the latest 2.6.27-stable tree
to fix this up so we can finally resolve this?


I believe it was applicable to 2.6.27.y without problems. This is the patch I sent to Tilman and stable. (Sorry, I am currently at the airport and do not have 2.6.27.y with me)
