It looks like the download page (http://www.linux1394.org/download.html) is out of date:
"See below for how to apply patches.
patch for 2.2.16-2.2.19 (released 2001-05-27) patch for 2.4.2-2.4.4 (released 2001-05-22) No patch is needed for newer 2.4 kernels and 2.5. Get the latest version of this series or use svn."
I couldn't find a branches directory in the nightly tarball link at http://www.linux1394.org/viewcvs/trunk/?root=Linux+IEEE-1394 .
Obviously I'm doing something wrong. :-) Is there some page on linux1394 which contains either a tar of the current 2.4 tree or a the most recent patch against 2.4? My sincere thanks for all your work and help. Cheers, - Bill
