Hi, My U10 runs woody, 2.4.19 kernel. I have these PCI cards installed >> nics, > Recently someone reported getting a 3com card (3c905?) working. I have 2 3c905b-tx installed, had up to 3, used revs A,B,C
>> scsi cards, > Yep. Got an Adaptec card (2940 IIRC) working very well. Diamond Fireport 40 Dual (sym53c876), (sg module), can boot from it, but when rebooting, I have to Stop+A and "boot scsi". >> tv tuners, etc. > Never tried but IIRC the bt drivers appear in the SPARC kernel so it > should work. miro pctv (bt848), the kernel used doesn't have the necessary modules. I had once a bttv module loaded, using a debian kernel (can't remember which one, surely a 2.2.x when using potato). I only tried xawtv, nothing went, didn't search more than a screwdriver. > Have got HCF modems and ATA controllers to recognise but haven't tested > them properly. >> If the driver source is out there, what's to stop it from running? > Well: > 1.
