(Get the code!)
What name would give to the people that do the kind of Invalid -> Confirmed -> Invalid -> Confirmed toggling that was taking place before I used that name? At least that silly nonsense stopped!
I have grown rather tired of the kinds of things that are said and done on these lists concerning the Realtek drivers. I am not an employee of Realtek, nor am I paid by them. In addition, I have no knowledge of what is needed to make the chip work other than what I deduce by reading the code! You can also do that.
If I had not done the porting to the kernel, you would all be trying to figure out how to compile the factory drivers on newer kernels, and suffering the kernel crashes and memory leaks that happened before I reported those problems to Realtek.
One other thing that irks me is that when I post a potential fix in the form of a patch, it might take one or two WEEKS before anyone tries it and reports back. By that time, it is difficult to remember what is happening or even why I thought the change might be a good idea. In addition, you can imagine how high I think the priority is for that particular complaint.
