SubjectRe: tulip driver in 2.1.11* - 2.1.21 is broken - new driver
   Date: Sat, 19 Sep 1998 16:13:26 -0700 (PDT)
From: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@transmeta.com>

Right now we have known broken drivers, and some of that breakage is due
to them just completely incorrectly handling tbusy. I'd like to make a
clean break by getting rid of it, and re-introducing a thing that is
documented and not mis-used.

It's way too easy to just add new broken members. We need to clean cruft
out too.

I agree...

But please give me one answer, how do we deal officially with the
driver maintenance issue, ie. the Becker problems? I don't want to
step on toes, at the same time I want to fix all his broken code so
2.2.x can be a reality.

Later,
