I haven't seen any commits from rbrad yet.
I know he's still working on fixing the ccio driver bugs.

please please please update the firmware on this box. See the parisc-linux
FAQ for details on how to upgrade firmware. You don't want to chase
data corruption problems due to the old dino. Upgrading the firmware
will prevent the scenario. The box is useful but one can't use PCI
devices (except graphics) in it.

This should work. Make sure link lights on the hub/switch and
C180 are on. Shouldn't need a cross-over cable if you have a hub.
Othwerwise, review the palo parameters you are using.

No. But it avoids some other ones.
