WIPAT,
are you having performance issues with this card?

All fine, no any problem.

I have also successfully tested the patch on 2.6.23-r3 kernel (fujitsu esprimo mobile).

Hi,
I got the same problem as described in the bug description (WIPAT SRUTIPROM
2007-11-28). I tried the patch (paths adjusted for Ubuntu) against the
2.6.22-14 kernel. For the patching I get the following error:
 
root@ubuntu:/usr/src/linux-source-2.6.22/drivers/net# patch -p0 </root/zozPathModified 
patching file sis190.c
Hunk #1 FAILED at 1549.
1 out of 1 hunk FAILED -- saving rejects to file sis190.c.rej

Could you send me a patch for the 2.6.22 Ubuntu version of sis190.c (file attached 'sis190_ubuntu2.6.22-14-generic.gz'), or at least tell me how to solve the patching error?

Thanks Emal

Hi,
When this small change is going to be added to the kernel?
I have not been able to find it on a few changelogs.

The patch is in Jeff's upstream branch. It should be included in the
kernel during the post-2.6.24 merge window.

The patch is included in Linus's tree as ebc71647309539aaf9088f4e41b9f364cce8f7eb.

I am also having the same problem in Archlinux, the 2.6.30 kernel.

Does anyone know how I can fix this problem?

Bug #11509 seems related to this bug
