Re: future of drivers/fc4/

Hi,

I saw your posts on vger.kernel.org but it doesn't seem to find a lot of 
reaction there.

I do have a lot of hardware to test this (S1000E, SSA 100, E5000, 
A5000). A while back, I had the 2.2.20 kernel running with my SS1000E 
and the SSA 100 attached. Worked fine. But any version of Linux later 
than 2.2.20 didn't do it.

Could it be, that the mayjor changes from 2.2 -> 2.4 (SMP, scsi etc.) 
are the REAL reason for that ?

I don't think it has to do woth hardware issues other than having the 
right firmwar on either the soc-board (1.33) and the SSA (3.??).

Did you get any further ?

Did you have it running with 2.2.??

Sincerly,
Matthias Schulz
