Hi Christopher, Russ, list,
I received this from Intel about a month ago. Sadly I am not familiar
enough with the blob sources anymore (nor do I have access to a
Lubbock), and although I have prodded Erik a few times it looks like
he hasn't integrated these patches yet either.
If there is anything I can do to to help with the release do let me
know. Although the days that most of the blob code was mine are long
gone, I'd very much like to do my bit to keep blob up & running.
