I have ported the 1.14 version of the driver to 2.2.18. Basically converted their idea of patching with cp to normal diff and dropped all reverse changes. http://www.l-t.ee/marko/linux/dpt114-2.2.18p22.diff.gz It was for pre22 but applies cleanly to final 2.2.18. The other soft was most current in valinux site: http://ftp.valinux.com/pub/mirrors/dpt/ > Has the native i2o driver been updated to handle what the dpt card is > doing? No, the DPT driver has not been updated to native Linux i2o. Note: the driver compiles only with gcc 2.7.2.3, (dunno about egcs). 2.95.2 makes it acting weird. I do not know if thats gcc or driver problem. -- marko - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
