| |
I just made a 2.5.1, but I'm still concentrating on bio stuff, so don't bother sending me other patches unless they are serious bug-fixes to something else.
2.5.1 is hopefully a good interim stage - many block drivers should work fine, but many more do not. However, the pre-patches were getting largish, so I'd rather do a 2.5.1 than wait for all the details.
As to other stuff - note the separation of drivers for new and old tulip chips: if you have an old 2104x tulip chip (as opposed to the newer 2114x chips) the regular tulip driver doesn't work any more for you. Don't be surprised, select CONFIG_DE2104X.
