Re: 2.6.21-hh16 on h2200

Hello Michal,

nice to hear something from U 2!

I was not available the last 5 weeks - a very long holiday trip.

Now I have nearly no glue what's going on. I have the feeling you are more
inside the discussion and can explain to me why there is absolutely no
discussion on the kernel-developer list for a long time. Below your message
sound as it is due to maintanance. But maintenance for such a long time???

I've tested the LED patch from Alain and it works well. I'm very happy that at
least this item is solved. I'd like to send it to Paul (in the name of
Alain - sure) but now I'm a bit annoyed if to send it to the list or to Paul
directly? Ah I just see, you mentioned it below, kernel-bugs seems to be the
intermediate place for it.

More later on
