Ok ... I must have lost my mind....

I just started to try get the 2.4 series iburst UT drivers to work on a 2.6 kernel ...

Rodent, anyone else... advice;suggestions (other than having my head read ;-)...

I've contacted ArrayComm but not heard anything yet ...

Been looking but not seen a clear howto for driver re-write to 2.6.. And in my case I'll need a damn comprehensive howto ... while I code a fair bit I've tried to keep my sanity by staying away from device drivers where possible ;-)

Will they make the 128/512K deadline ... hope so for their sake

Unless the whole point is doing research work under the 2.6 kernel ;-)

simply use the ones for uunet:

196.7.0.139 / 196.7.142.133 (caching - should be open to all)
196.7.0.138 / 196.7.142.132 (primaries)

Ok, so I've had a chat with the ArrayComm author of the drivers - he was rather shocked to hear I got the drivers without a NDA ;-)

2.6 with PCMCIA is still a fair bit away. Main focus is on 2.6 with USB - and even that seems to have low priority ATM.

Will keep all posted.

The developer of the linux drivers - Ted Merril - has indicated a willingness to get the stuff moved to 2.6 .. I will keep you in the loop with progress etc.

If anyone feels the urge to code/assist (Rodent ?) please drop me a line.

After compilation of the drivers you need to ensure that you've added to correct PCMCIA card and device information (ibut.txt explains this).

From a started services point of view ... Base must be started first ... then File then Network and finally PCMCIA.

How is this going? Has anyone got anywhere? I would be willing to test the 2.6 drivers. Not much of a coder but I can test.

i hate all drivers

The main reason why i am considering moving to linux from windoze is the damn driver issues, now i find linux is being threatened with the same darn problems... 1 step forward 2 step back, are we 'evolving' yet lol
