submitting kernel patch for 3w-9xxx in 2.4

submitting kernel patch for 3w-9xxx in 2.4

[James Colannino]

Everyone,

I've created a kernel patch for 2.4.27 that adds the newer 3w-9xxx 3Ware 
driver (for the 3Ware 9000 series of controllers).  If anyone here is 
interested, I can patch the latest pre-release for 2.4.28 and submit it 
to the list.  Just let me know.

May I suggest you don't use triple-x in its name.
Such causes indigestion by several spam filters that people have
deployed...  (The aic7xxx as prime example.)

got another identifier that would indicate a presence of a variable that 
won't have some other meaning to a filesystem or user? #### ???? *

Sure.  I just went ahead and named it 3w-9000-2.4.27.diff.  The patch 
can now be found at:

No idea about that, but every time somebody reports problems with
the AIC7XXX driver with either in all uppercase, or lowercase
name in message subject, a dozen or so linux-kernel recipient systems
do react adversely with something like "keep your spam".

For number wildcarding,  "N" is usable in some cases.
e.g.  3w-9nnn  

I do urge you to consider rewriting configuration options, and file
names so that triple-x doesn't appear in them.

Both for 2.4 and 2.6 kernels, as well.

Why?  That removes any incentive for the affected users to fix their
spam filters.  Any halfway intelligent filter would pass LKML mail with
'aic7xxx' in the subject.

Despite the fact that this entire thread contains frequent instances of 
3w-9xxx,
none of the properly configured spam filters across my various mailboxes
think it's spam.  Stupid spam filters are no reason to use a mashed-up 
naming
scheme for kernel files :-D.

Cheers,

Or just let people with buggy spamfilters suffer, as we do people
with ECN broken routers who want to use linux-kernel

People with buggy filters don't see it.  DaveM suffers the bounce flood..
(and I, to a lesser degree.)

Ah well, I guess nobody's interested in the patch :-P
