Fairly big changes to lasi_82596.c, partly just tidyup, partly improvements to cache handling. It is still not perfect but is a _lot_ better than it was. The change to lan.c was to use a different probe function on older h/w (like my 715/75), where we need to swap the MPU_PORT, as per the message from prumpf. If the driver seems completely dead for you, try enabling/disabling that word swap, and please let me know that you needed to. All success or failure reports welcome :-) Richard On Thu, May 18, 2000 at 08:31:56AM -0400, Chris Snow wrote: > > I had the same problem on my 715/33 with lasi_82596.c. > > I emailed Helge Deller who made the last changes to > > this driver and he told me that there seems to be the > > problem that not all interrupts from the i82596 are > > delivered to the interrupt routine.
