I think the HCLs are the definitive (externally accessible :-) source. We've tended to stick with controller families (so that updating a driver was all that was needed) rather than introducing completely new ones. Recent additions have been Adaptec (but not all of them), Intel EEPro100 NIC, NCR/Symbios 896, and a couple of recent Mylex RAID controllers. Those are only the ones I know of, ie there may be others. --Jay++ ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Jay A Estabrook Alpha Engineering - LINUX Project Compaq Computer Corp. - MRO1-2/K20 (508) 467-2080 200 Forest Street, Marlboro MA 01752 [EMAIL PROTECTED] ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
