| |
I have just released a minor update to my BusLogic driver which includes improvements and fixes for some minor problems:
o New command line options "NoProbe", "NoProbeISA", and "NoSortPCI" have been added to allow users greater flexibility in disabling or altering probing should this ever be necessary. Consult the comments on BusLogic_Setup for further information.
o Sorting of the PCI host adapters by bus number and device number is now only performed if the "Use Bus And Device # For PCI Scanning Seq." AutoSCSI option is on and if the host adapter BT-948/958/958D. Some BT-946C/956C host adapters were found to have this bit set in AutoSCSI even though it has no meaning.
o A bus device reset that did not complete and was followed up by an asynchronous bus device reset to the same target device could result in a memory fault.
o One additional improvement to the timeout code in scsi.c has been made.
Versions 1.2.3 and 2.0.3 of my BusLogic driver are now available for FTP from:
ftp://ftp.dandelion.com/BusLogic-1.2.3.tar.gz ftp://ftp.dandelion.com/BusLogic-2.0.3.tar.gz
In addition, since the changes are so minor and some people have heavily patched Linux 1.2.13 source trees, I've also made a patch available that will upgrade from version 1.2.2 of the driver directly to 1.2.3:
ftp://ftp.dandelion.com/BusLogic-1.2.3.upgrade.gz
If you have Linux 1.99.5 (aka 2.0pre5) or above, then BusLogic 2.0.3 is already included. In all likelihood, this will be the last release of my BusLogic driver for 1.2.13, as Linux 2.0.0 will likely arrive soon and become the new stable platform.
