apparently, LKML silently (!) bounces messages > a certain size. So I'll try smaller patches. This is part 2/2 of the general Cobalt support. Alan, Aattached is a (large, but self contained) patch for Cobalt Networks suport for x86 systems (RaQ3, RaQ4, Qube3, RaQXTR). Please let me know if there is anything that would prevent this from general inclusion in the next release. (patch against 2.4.5) Thanks Tim -- Tim Hockin Systems Software Engineer Sun Microsystems, Cobalt Server Appliances thockin@sun.com
