True. I *always* install the latest driver which is rarely in the current Linux kernel. For example, the default Adaptec 2940U driver (aic7xxx) in 2.0.30 does not do shared IRQs without a tiny patch to aic7xxx.c: - if (request_irq(config->irq, aic7xxx_isr, SA_INTERRUPT | SA_SHIRQ, + if (request_irq(config->irq, aic7xxx_isr, SA_SHIRQ, "aic7xxx", NULL)) so my network card wouldn't work until I applied the patch. The following updated driver does use shared IRQs and is more stable: ftp://ftp.pcnet.com/users/eischen/Linux/aic7xxx-2.1.26-Jun1.tgz It compiled fine under 2.0.30. Make sure you read the README file because there is some hand-editing to do. I edited aic7xxx.c to enable tagged queueing with 6 commands per lun for increased SCSI performance: /* Uncomment this for tagged queueing. */ #define AIC7XXX_TAGGED_QUEUEING /* * You can try raising me if tagged queueing is enabled, or lowering * me if you only have 4 SCBs. */ #define AIC7XXX_CMDS_PER_LUN 6 A newer version still of the aic7xxx driver will be included in 2.0.31 (at least it's in the pre-release I'm downloaded and tried). -- Peter Galbraith, research scientist <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Maurice-Lamontagne Institute, Department of Fisheries and Oceans Canada P.O.
