[LinuxPPS] PPS on a recent kernel

Sorry if this appears twice,- I sent it to Shane and the list earlier
today, and never saw it appear on the list.

Let me respond from my experience.
My most recent working linuxPPS is based on 2.67.28.3 and the patches you have
found out on the WEB.

More recently there were patches posted to the linuxPPS mailing list against
2.6.31, but I get a failure in time_pps_create with these patches.

I APPEAR to have had problems with 2.6.28.9, so if you are trying to get a
working linuxPPS I would go all the way back to 2.6.28.3.

Of course, as is always the case: Your mileage may vary.
