See https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=128292 It's now fixed, I've written a backport of the 0.29 driver, it's at http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=linux-kernel&m=109439014812433&w=2 But that backport was stopped due to an oddity in your original backport: >From http://www.uwsg.indiana.edu/hypermail/linux/kernel/0408.1/1523.html: > #define PCI_DEVICE_ID_NVIDIA_NFORCE3 0x00d1 > #define PCI_DEVICE_ID_NVIDIA_NFORCE3_IDE 0x00d5 > +#define PCI_DEVICE_ID_NVIDIA_NVENET_3 0x00d5 > #define PCI_DEVICE_ID_NVIDIA_MCP3_AUDIO 0x00da NVENET_3 can't have the id 0x00d5. I've asked Jane Liu a month ago to double check the values and I'm still waiting for a reply. For me, that's the only open point that prevents merging. What I'm missing is a positive test report from a non-GB board, but that's not mandatory - IMHO the code receives enough testing in 2.6. -- Manfred - 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/
