[PATCH] Backport of Sierra Wireless USB serial driver from 2.6 to kernel 2.4.37
This is a backport of the Sierra Wireless USB modem from linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux-2.6.git to kernel 2.4. We are actively using this driver on our embedded systems running uClinux 2.4.26 on an ARM7TDMI but the patch has been produced against 2.4.37. I did not have time to prepare and run the entire 2.4.37 on ... 19 Jan 2010 14:39

issues with kmemleak backport
Hi, I've backported about 60 kmemleak patches to a modified 2.6.27 in an attempt to track down a memory leak of about 4MB/hr that we're seeing on an x86 blade. For the most part the backport was straightforward, but now booting up the kernel I see this: Cannot insert 0xc312b880 into the object search tree (... 21 Jan 2010 11:10

kernel cpufreq on intel core2quad
Dear all, lately I tried to make use of the CPUFreq governor "ondemand". I tried two boxes, one with Intel(R) Core(TM)2 Quad CPU Q6700 @ 2.66GHz, another with Intel (R) Core(TM)2 Quad CPU Q9300 @ 2.50GHz both running kernel 2.6.32.4. At first I thought there is something wrong with the second one (Q9300). It show... 19 Jan 2010 07:56
