Fixed again in 2.6.9

A different Minolta bug apparently caused breakage this time. There is a workaround by Matthew Dharm for 2.6.9-rc4. The necessary patch hunk is

This should apply against anything reasonably recent from 2.6.

I can't really recommend attaching this camera over USB though, because it runs down the NiMH batteries extremely quickly. It's better, if at all possible, to read direct from the card through a PCMCIA carrier or a printer or a USB attachment. It may be quicker too, if you have a better interface than the USB1 on the DiMAGE.

broken again

DiMAGE7i usb-storage support seems to be broken again as of 2.6.8.1. I need to see if the patch is still in there, or needs to be updated.

merged

Greg K-H says he took this patch, so it should be in the next 2.4 and 2.6 kernels.

Linux Minolta DiMAGE 7i patch

Patch to make Minolta DiMAGE 7, 7i, 7Hi cameras work on Linux. This might help with the DiMAGE A1 as well, which is the successor to the 7. Let me know!
