Date: Thu, 21 Feb 2008 20:02:55 -0500 From: Pavel Roskin <proski@....org> To: linux-kernel@...r.kernel.org Cc: Jon Masters <jonathan@...masters.org>, Rusty Russell <rusty@...tcorp.com.au>, Giridhar Pemmasani <pgiri@...oo.com> Subject: ndiswrapper tainting Hello! What are the chances that incorrect tainting of ndiswrapper will be fixed in 2.6.25? I'm worried that it still hasn't happened in the mainline repository. It's unfortunate to see that a long discussion didn't result in a simple fix. If anyone is waiting for my patch, please let me know what kind of patch I'm supposed to submit and to which address. If the problem is not fixed in 2.6.25, the ndiswrapper module will need to be renamed in the next release, because otherwise the problem with unresolved symbols will quickly become the number one in the FAQ. But this is undesirable because it would break existing modprobe configuration files that bind ndiswrapper to specific devices. Please let's not turn it into another empty discussion. I represent only myself and I'm not a lawyer. -- Regards, Pavel Roskin -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@...r.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
