First release-candidate for 0.17.1 -- please test!

[Nicolas Boullis]

Hi,

Linux kernel 2.6.26 was released a few days ago, and as with most linux
kernel releases nowadays, it breaks the API.
Hance, I just packed the first release candidate for 0.17.1. There isn't
much news in this release, except the support for linux 2.6.26.
As usual you can get it from
  http://dxr3.sourceforge.net/download/em8300-0.17.1-rc1.tar.gz

Many thanks to Christian Gmeiner who did most the work for compatibility
with 2.6.16 in his private repository
  http://freehg.org/u/austriancoder/em8300-cgmeiner/
I merged one of his patch as is. As for the other one, I was not fully
satisfied with it, so I reworked it, but it was still very usefull as a
guide.

All comments are welcome. Please give it a try and report.


Cheers,

Nicolas

There were also some changes in the i2c config stuff and its not
possible to select i2c algorithms directly. Therefore you need to
select a i2c driver, which needs i2c bit banging.

CONFIG_I2C_PARPORT_LIGHT=m

Thanks, it works great now. Hopefully LIRC catches up soon so that I can switch to .26 completely.
