I was wondering if any progress has been made on the Wallstreet / ethernet problems issue that was being discussed a while back? I'm seeing the same issues - real slow connections, a shedload of packet collisions and occasional crashes when the disk is grinding. I can probably gather some more stats if that would be helpful. Wallstreet II, kernel 2.2.14p9 (I know, I know, but it seems pretty stable and apart from the ethernet issue it all works), standard LinuxPPC 1999 install. 192MB memory, some kind of IBM disk. If there's a patch out there, or a newer kernel fixes it, I'd be grateful. I'm a bit wary of the 2.3 kernels - I need working hfs as well as linux, unfortunately - but I'm willing to give them a go. ISTR there was some question of whether it was the disk itself that was causing the problems - If that's the case I'll just go and shell out for an 18gig drive (not that I've been looking for an excuse, or anything ;-) I'd have a go at hacking the code if I had the time, but I'm working 18+ hour days at the moment. Such is life . Simon -- Your mouse has moved. You must reboot Windows NT for these changes to be recognised. ** Sent via the linuxppc-dev mail list. See http://lists.linuxppc.org/
