The patch was posted saying it had only been tested on 2.6.33.1. 
There was failure-to-build and boot problems  beyond our control with 2.6.34-rc2.
Now that 2.6.34-rc3 is available (and we are able to build and boot on our Ubuntu platform)
I will modify the driver to reflect the fact that deverr is no longer in existence
and is replaced by another function. I will submit the modified driver tested on 2.6.34-rc3 shortly.
Perhaps we should have waited until the build problem was fixed.
Regards,
Elina
