Re: [Trinux-talk] Serial kernel module for 2.4.19

[Matthew F. <mf...@ci...>]

Hi Mike,

I thought there might be one in http://trinux.sf.net/modules/2.4.19
but it is empty.

However, within days I'll put out a pre-release PCMCIA disk for kernel
2.4.26 for testing, most likely over the weekend.

The proof is actually in http://trinux.sf.net/pkg/2.4.26 with new
module and module packages being added daily.
