  i wonder if there's any progress on this one. i consider this a very
  limiting issue, as it renders my n2100 almost unusable regarding it's
  core purpose, being a high performance nas device in a gbit lan. even my
  slug seems to have a better disk performance.
  i know i could go back to thecus firmware if that's my main concern,
  but, you know, that's not an option either for obvious reasons. :-)
 
 Still no progress, but I just made 2.6.25 kernels available with the
 DMA patches applied.  This kernel is largely untested, but it includes
 the same patch from Dan Williams that I tested before and that seems
 to work.
 
 Any feedback is welcome.  Use at your own risk.

I've been using this kernel for some time on my N2100 now, and the
improvement in disk IO performance is substantial.  I'd love to see this
merged into lenny's kernel but I realise I should have sent this email a
few weeks ago for that to be in any way possible...

hedges.billgatliff.com/hedges.debian.org is an N2100.  Might be another
good place to try it out.

I don't have root on hedges, and wouldn't use it even if I did--- it's
debian's machine, after all.  :)  But I'm occasionally in physical
proximity to the colo center that houses it, if necessary.

Or, not.  Not my call.  :)

Camm, thanks for returning. Latest build of gcl succeeded on
smackdown/arm, so I believe gcl/arm removal is now unnecessary:
