Of all the gin joints in all the towns in all the world, Boris Georgiev had to walk into mine and say: > Kenneth, > > As I already posted William, I have bad news - it doesn't work for me.

Uh.... First of all, the driver does not load any firmware into the chip. Second, you're not supposed to tell me your interpretation of what happened: you're supposed to cut&paste the messages into an e-mail so that I can see for myself what happened. Please show me all of the information that led you to your conclusion that this alleged firmware upload failed. > It gave me out > an timeout message and didn't load the driver at all.

Wait until you do have the information available, and then e-mail me. You'll save precious time and electrons. -Bill -- ============================================================================= -Bill Paul (510) 749-2329 | Senior Engineer, Master of Unix-Fu wpaul_at_windriver.com | Wind River Systems ============================================================================= "If stupidity were a handicap, you'd have the best parking spot." =============================================================================Received on Mon Jul 14 2003 - 12:26:48 UTC
