I was about to ask whether there will be a parport-aware bpcd (for
daisy-chaining, enhanced parallel port modes etc.) So, what's the
future of Backpack support? Also, please excuse my ignorance, is
there a chance that anything of the nice parport stuff makes it into
a 2.0 kernel? Or do we have to use 2.1/wait for 2.2 ?
Cheers
