Thanks for the report. I'll look into it.

A question that's nagging me for some time now is: how many people use
gigaset drivers (and, actually ISDN drivers in general) while running
recent kernel releases? I haven't seen reports that suggest people
really do that for some time now.

So, just to be absolutely sure: this was generated with a kernel that
used the ser-gigaset driver without actually using the related hardware,
wasn't it? (That hardware is a clunky, self powered device that requires
a good old serial port.)

Thanks,


Paul Bolle
