| |
A number of Debian users have complained that the device probe routines in our "generic" kernel cause garbage to be written into the EEPROM of their NE2000 or WD8013 cards. Can someone tell me about the bit-patterns used to enable EEPROM write in these devices, and do you know of drivers that are likely to collide with these cards?
Thanks
