I'm trying to find an nForce 2 motherboard, but it needs to be one with onboard FireWire, using the nForce 2's MCP-T (southbridge) for the FireWire functionality. Unfortunately, such boards are rather hard to find anywhere these days for a reasonable price. The onboard controller I'm looking for should show up in lspci like so:
00:0d.0 FireWire (IEEE 1394) [0c00]: nVidia Corporation nForce2 FireWire (IEEE 1394) Controller [10de:006e] (rev a3) (prog-if 10 [OHCI]) So *why* do I need it? Well, of late, a good portion of my time has been spent working on the Linux kernel firewire driver stack (not the old ieee1394 stack, the new "juju" firewire stack). There are a number of open bugs in bugzilla.kernel.org, bugzilla.redhat.com and debian's bug tracker pertaining to the new drivers failing to work with nForce 2 FireWire controllers, but to have a prayer of making them work, I really need to get such a beast in front of me. Please let me know if you have one I could buy/borrow/trade for or if you would be willing to try some things out on it for me -- it *might* already be fixed by recent changes made to support another problematic controller. In theory, I shouldn't need it for very long, thus my desire to not pay through the nose (~$100) for one on eBay coming out of Hong Kong... -- Jarod Wilson [EMAIL PROTECTED] _______________________________________________ gnhlug-discuss mailing list gnhlug-discuss@mail.gnhlug.org http://mail.gnhlug.org/mailman/listinfo/gnhlug-discuss/
