I can't find the support request but the gist of it was no. It might make a reappearance in RHEL5 but it was unlikely to make it back into the 2.6.9 kernel in RHEL4 because the necessary backported fixes to the ieee1394 code in that kernel version were a lot of work with a lot of dependencies on other things. I realise that's the least specific report I've ever give *cue vague handwaving* but it was so long ago I don't remember the details. -- Sam -- Taroon-list mailing list [email protected] https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/taroon-list
