[ltp] Linux MWave - does IBM have this internally ?

[Matthew Turner]

Being in development and an IBMer I can tell you that I have been
unsuccessful locating such a driver internally. I have a half dozen or so
machines running Linux (Netfinitys, PC365s, Thinkpad 770 and 600) and have
found most of what I've needed through forums and various .coms & .orgs
(here, ALSA, RedHat, etc.). If I find one that is distributable I'll let
you know!


Thanks

Hi folks,

I sent one of those on-line CGI based mail thingys to Mr. Gerstner.

I mentioned my desire for MWave support for Linux, and also pointed
him to the petition page.

This was the reply.

Hmmmm. The line that really interests me though is:

> At this time IBM does not have a Linux driver that is available for
public
> release for Thinkpad products.

Note the word "public" !

Could this mean that there is one ? If this is the case I would really
like to
know if and when it would be made available to us mere mortals.

Bill.
