[Ipodlinux-devel] 3g firewire success

[Robert D <ro...@op...>]

 As soon as i get my linux system up and running properly (i might even boot
 up a knoppix cd just so i can try this out :D) i will test this out. If it
 works i am very very very excited.

 Has anyone else tested the new patches?

 By the way, how did you find out that that is what was wrong?
