[Somehow I ended up with an empty message last time. *sigh*]
I'm trying to bring up your FDDI driver in the 2.1.30 kernel on an Alpha and I'm having some trouble, so I thought I'd see if you folks had any suggestions.
First, I took care of the header problems for the Alpha. Most of it was simply a case of taking the non-SMP case out of the i386 headers and sticking them in the corresponding Alpha header. Next, there were a couple of fairly obvious problems with FDDI. Space.c didn't include the fddi stanza and net/802/fddi.c seemed to be confused as to when it wanted htons on the type and when it didn't. Those were relatively easy to straighten out. The driver itself now loads and doesn't report any problems.
My problem at this point is that when I try to ping something on the fddi interface I get back: ping: recvfrom: returned unknown error 512 and ping reports no packets are received.
I am starting to wonder if this might be a problem somewhere other than the FDDI driver, because if I ping 127.0.0.1, I get the same error message, but in this case ping shows that the packets are received. Perhaps I'm missing something else I should have upgraded from my 2.0.27 kernel.
Does this ring any bells for you? Has anyone tried to get the FDDI driver running under 2.1.30? Any help you could provide would be appreciated.
