Subject: [patch] Version 2 of the Linux IPMI driver
Date: Fri, 06 Sep 2002 13:35:30 -0500	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <3D78F572.2080200@acm.org> (raw)

I've cleaned a few things up and fixed some minor bugs.  The only big 
change is renaming the "unused" address to the "system interface" 
address (which makes a heck of a lot more sense).  I'm working on 
userland tools that will tie in to this and to LAN/ICMB stuff, and there 
I saw the need for the name.  I still haven't tested interrupt-driven 
operation, but that's really a rather minor concern since almost no 
boards support it and the driver will work without it.

You can get the patch on my web page at http://home.attbi.com/~minyard, 
relative to 2.5.33 or 2.4.19.  The patch is fairly self-contained, so it 
should be easy to port to other kernel versions.

The lanana guy is not available for a while, so I'm not getting a device 
number in the near future, but I think it's ready for the 2.5 release. 
 Does this need more time, or is it ready for inclusion?

-Corey
