I have to try in the real box, but I don't think there were any problems, at least the same than 2.5.... Marcelo, is there any chance to get this in next -pre or in .19 ? Patches are big, so I put them at: http://giga.cps.unizar.es/~magallon/linux/kernel/intel/e100-2.0.27-pre3.bz2 http://giga.cps.unizar.es/~magallon/linux/kernel/intel/e1000-4.2.8.bz2 (note, second gives some offsets and a fail if applied without the first one...) Some notes/questions: - e100 has no help text. - Versions are far newer than those listen in intel web pages: * e100: Intel web is 1.8.35, the driver taken from 2.5.12 is 2.0.27-pre3 * e1000: Intel web is 4.1.7, driver in 2.5 is 4.2.8 Thanks for all the info. -- J.A.
