great job my friend<br><br>will take a look.<br><br>cheers to all from brazil!<br><br><div class="gmail_quote">2009/3/21 Rubén Rodríguez <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:ruben@es.gnu.org">ruben@es.gnu.org</a>></span><br>
<blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; padding-left: 1ex;">I'm going to backport it into Trisquel 2.1 (hardy based) immediately, it<br>
seems to be an excellent work!<br>
<br>
Also, a 2.6.24 deblobber based in this work would be very useful, as it<br>
can be applied to the default kernel from both Trisquel and gNewSense.<br>
<br>
Kudos.<br>
Rubén<br>
