Re: speakup drivers with 2.6.24

["Zachary Kline" <klinez@onid.orst.edu>]

Hi,
    I must admit I'm not sure about the reasons behind all this.  Call me a 
traditionalist, but I've always associated /proc as being the main place 
where such configurable kernel parameters are kept.  Is there a reason 
behind moving stuff out of there?
Thanks,
Zack.
