Yes. I did changes for 2.1.78, and (at least) it works fine for me. I'm maintaining current PLIP code. I believe that it's the first SMP-friendly (no cli/sti) network driver of Linux in the world. :-) Yes, it works on SMP machine as well. > Is anyone intending to optimize PLIP? > To add bidirectional parallel support to it? To add ECP/EPP support? For me, no. Currently, I don't have any plan to do so, as I don't know any standard method to do it. With no standard cable that we can buy at computer shop easily, I won't try to implement bidirectional PLIP. Please feel free to hack on it. Or do you know any exinsting standard method to connect parallel port machine-to-machine with bidirectional link? I'd like to know. > Far,Ai(B -- PLIP user since 0.99.14, staying 2.0.x because 2.1 breaks PLIP. Please try 2.1.78 or later. If there's problem please let me know.
