The impression that I get is that even though the driver code is open
sourced (for Linux), there is enough of the function still proprietary
to prevent Fundamental from making anything useful from it. I keep
asking about it and hope is still alive... :)
That I don't get. It should be possible to make it at least as
functional as a dedicated OSA-E is to Linux, because there is no
longer a binary blob that gets called, as far as I can tell. But
Fish said something similar.
Where is my misunderstanding of the problem? Surely, if we know what
the S/390 or zSeries system does when it wants to put a packet on the
network via the OSA, and if we know what packet ultimately ends up on
the wire, then the rest is a simple matter of programming, right?
Obviously there's some tricky bit I'm missing here, but I don't see
what it is. Someone, please enlighten me.
