Subject: PCTEL: new driver available

Dear people,

A new driver is available: pctel-0.8.5 !
Thanks to Daniel Caujolle-Bert, we have now a driver that should work
with most modems on most 2.4.x kernels. The driver should support
pct789, cm8738, i810intel, i810sis and via686a. 

I recommend _all_ users to try this driver.

You can find the driver at
http://www.medres.ch/~jstifter/linux/pctel.html
in the development version.

As usual, it comes untested, and might crash your machine (it really
crashed mine)! Be careful, it is a development version. Do not mix
this driver with old ones (remove the old, insert the new), since the
old drivers have a bug. Instead, reboot your machine, and then insert
the new driver, test it, and if it work, trash the old one!

Hopefully, the CM8x people will have a working driver with this one.

Jan
