[Bug 512142] Re: pktcdvd module missing

[pirx67]

I think the patch that I did upload should not be integrated into the
ubuntu package or the upstream version.

It only works around the fact that the name for the control device
printed from "/proc/misc" changed from "pktcdvd" as expected to
"pktcdvd/control". That seems to be caused by a kernel internal
interface change that was not completely done correct in this kernel
version (2.6.31.6). But the packet writing support in this kernel is
broken.

So adding the patch to the Karmic packages would enable the user to
configure the packet writing as expected but it still won't work as the
function itself seems to be broken. So I think it is better to keep this
patch out.

Later kernels fixed the wrong name of the pktcdvd control device (the
patch is not needed then) but the packet writing support is still broken
as described here
