    Dear Ping,

    Vojtech posted your 2.6 patch to linux-kernel yesterday, so I examined it
    (Subject: [PATCH 32/44] Update of Wacom driver from Ping Cheng (from Wacom)).
    Unlike the 2.4 version, it does not feature a reset thread. Please tell
    me why that thread was required in 2.4.

    Or perhaps it was present in your original submission which I lost and
    Vojtech removed that element of the patch?

    Yours truly,
    -- Pete
