http://www.minion.de for a counter-example. Of course, the NVidia driver was already built with a wrapper for the 2.4 kernel, so doing a 2.6 version wasn't too bad.
It's really going to depend on which kernel interfaces the module actually uses, and what the module is doing. [unhandled content-type:application/pgp-signature] | |
