EciAadsl: EciAdsl and 2.6.x kernels ()

EciAdsl driver is compatible with 2.6 kernels since version 0.9.
All 2.6 kernels between 2.6.0 and 2.6.6 have to be patched (look at link below).

Update on 2004-06-23: 2.6.7 and 2.6.8.1 kernels are not stable with EciAdsl.
Kernel 2.6.9-rc1 seems stable.

Feel free to report us any stability problem with 2.6 kernels.
Thanks.

Patch for 2.6 kernels (≥ 2.6.0 and ≤ 2.6.6)

Re: EciAdsl and 2.6.x kernels
Posted by Enso,
Well I haven't found the kernel 2.6.7rc3 unstable... here I can normally upload without getting dc, so I guess this does not depend on the kernel.
Fedora Core 2 users should upgrade to kernel 2.6.6-1.427 so they can have a kernel that doesn't need a patch...
But there still is something weird...
If I dont kill pppoeci before I halt/restart my computer, I get these messages while halting the machine:

This happens on vanilla kernels too...
