    Thanks for your clear response, yes i was looking for 5.x indeed.
    Driver status for 5.x would be very nice indeed, i guess more guys are
    interested in such? If someone provides me with info, i'm willing text for
    the busdma page you mentioned so that 5.x is also included.
    Bye,

    Mipam.
