[parisc-linux] Support for(E)ISA ?

[M. Grabert]

hello there,

i wonder if there is support for the (E)ISA bus or if it is planned (for
the near future/at all).
i have a HP9000/730 and a HP9000/809 F10, and i want to use the first
one to test Linux/hppa
(since i don't have HP/UX and i don't want to install it 'though i could
get it ...).

The 730 has a free EISA slot, and i want to put in a ISA card (WaveLan
PCMCIA-to-ISA-adaptor,
including WireLessLan-PCMCIA-card) sometime in the future ... if it is
possible.

So since this configuration is supported by linux(/x86), i ask you:
- is the support for (E)ISA on linux/x86 a sign/indication/hope/guaratee
for support on linux/hppa ?
- the same question for the WaveLan-driver

I just read the status page (puffin) that there is somebody working on
"WAX EISA support",
so i assume there IS a support for the EISA (and ISA) bus for
linux/hppa, i'm wrong ?

thanks in advance, max

Good question. I'd like to use a 3Com 3c579 ethernet card in my 715.

For EISA to work, Linux needs WAX support, and I don't think there is
any yet because of a lack of documentation.
