Meet Linux Kernel 2.6.2, 'Feisty Dunnart'

Posted by timothy on from the no-really-that's-the-name dept.

hatrisc writes "As of about 10:04 pm on February 3rd, Linux users can grab the official 2.6.2 kernel release from kernel.org. A lot of PPC fixes. Changelog is here." omniru writes "Linux kernel 2.6.2 aka 'Feisty Dunnart' released," and adds some possibly useful information "about Dunnarts, in case you've never heard of them before. Changes include ACPI, Bluetooth, USB, XFS and many more improvements and fixes." gowdy suggests eager downloaders use a mirror.

    From the changelog:

    [Bluetooth] Always use two ISOC URB's

    This patch modifies the USB Bluetooth driver to use two ISOC URB's
    per RX and TX transfer paths. This is needed for in time transfer
    of SCO audio packets over HCI.

    Linux is using SCO audio packets too??? Don't let them find out or they'll add it to their lawsuit :P

    Looks like Linus's trip "down under" inspired this kernel release...

    Good thing he didn't pick up the Crocodile Dundee, Steve Irwin, or a naked aborigena. But then, given the size of the Linux tarball these days, I think Ayers Rock would have been more appropriate than a 50 gram rodent ...

    [Patch] Added SCO I.P. to Kernel so we would have a case.
