[Bug 78330] Re: b44.ko driver does not work in Ubuntu 6.06 and Dell laptop

[Blaisorblade]

Today I've downloaded the Ubuntu kernel source, replaced b44.[ch] with
the copy from 2.6.18.6, undone a single API change by running the
following command on a recent git repository (>= 2.6.18):

$ cg diff -pr 1fb9df5d3069064c037c81c0ab8bf783ffa5e373 drivers/net/b44.c \
 |patch -R ../linux-source-2.6.15-2.6.15/drivers/net/b44.c

 and rebuilt the resulting kernel with make-kpkg. The ethernet card,
then, worked flawlessly. Do you need a bisection search for the exact
patch solving the bug or it is ok for you to backport all changes as I
did?

Thanks.
