Hello. Answering Y to NE2000 support configures/compiles in 2.1.94 but does not automatically load the driver upon bootup of the kernel, thus disabling ethernet completely.
I recently recompiled NE2000 as a module and loaded that in after the regular initialization of the kernel.. worked fine. Can someone look at fixing the non-module bootup for NE2000?
----- Also, with the new sound driver in 2.1.90 and above, It would seem to me that sound DSP buffers are allocated when a call to open /dev/dsp is issued. This is fine, except for when the system has extremely limited memory free, it can't find a big enough page (?) to allocate the buffer. This results in extremely distorted output constantly 'clicking' as the buffer isn't big enough. Even at some times, I cannot record/play because there isn't enough space to allocate Any buffer. I would be very grateful if the sound buffer (64k) was allocated during kernel initialization or during loadup of the module. I have not yet confirmed this problem on 2.1.94.
Thank you.
