That's no problem at all. After I wrote the above I thought "D'oh!" . . .

Please add the following to the above list:

ystdm16xx.ko                                 ystdm8xx.ko

to make a total of 32 modules built in the package.

Of the patches that you asked us to apply, when we first built this
package at the tail end of 2009, one enables "#define
CONFIG_DAHDI_CORE_TIMER" (it's disabled by default):

[quote]
/*
 * Define CONFIG_DAHDI_CORE_TIMER if you would like dahdi to always provide a
 * timing source regardless of which spans / drivers are configured.
 */
/* #define CONFIG_DAHDI_CORE_TIMER */
[/quote]

whilst the other disables the build of the firmware loaders:

[quote]
Index: Makefile
===================================================================
--- Makefile    (revision 6837)
+++ Makefile    (working copy)
@@ -90,7 +90,7 @@
        fi
        @rm -f $@.tmp

-prereq: include/dahdi/version.h firmware-loaders
+prereq: include/dahdi/version.h #firmware-loaders

 stackcheck: $(CHECKSTACK) modules
        objdump -d drivers/dahdi/*.ko drivers/dahdi/*/*.ko | $(CHECKSTACK)
[/quote]

So, to recap, we will add the YeaStar patch (most definitely) and the
CORE_TIMER patch (if you still consider it a requirement) but not add
the patch to disable the build of the firmware loaders.

Your comments, please.
