[Voyage-linux] Re: voyage and math emulation

[Kim-man 'Punky' TSE]

Diarmuid,

The supplied patch does not compiled on 2.6.23.

Since r6040 driver are not maintained in mainline, I would recommend you 
to send a request to the original provider for this code to be merged in 
mainline ASAP. 

Regards,
Punky
