Hello I have two questions regarding Linux 2.0.x
1. Did anybody tried running Linux 2.0.x on the Intel i840 chipset based
boards?
2. Does anybody knows of a 2.0.x driver for Intel's 82543GC Gigabit Ethernet
MAC (aka e1000) ?
Thanks in advance,
Best regards,
Gabi Davar

What are your reasons with staying on the 2.0 kernel series?
You probably won't find very many 2.0 users here anymore. Did you contact the
2.0 maintainer?

No, he didn't, but I do read LKML. I've been searching around a little
(not much yet; I've been busy) for evidence of people using the
i840 with v2.0.xx, but have so far found none. I can't see any reason
why it shouldn't work, however.
The Gigabit 82543GC, on the other hand, is probably something that you'll
have to get a newer kernel to be able to use (unless Intel has released
a driver for it that they haven't submitted to me; the only Gigabit
driver in v2.0.39 is, if I remember correctly, yellowfin.)
