Bug#382945: yaird: Add support for Apple Oldworld hardware

2006-08-14 Thread Jérémy Bobbio 
Package: yaird
Version: 0.0.12-17
Severity: wishlist
Tags: patch

Hi,

I have tried to use yaird on an old Apple Oldworld 7600/132.  The
version currently in Debian fails because of unrecognized devices.

The patch attached add supports for these machines by:
 * ignoring the Grand Central IO controller,
 * recognizing the MACE ethernet controller (module mace).

Regards,

Thanks.

Isn't it only the Grand Central IO controller that causes failure?

As far as I remember (not looking at the code right now) no ethernet
NIC modules are recognized at all - you are expected to explicitly add
to the config what NIC drivers you want loaded.

When enabling the NETWORK directive in Default.cfg, yaird needs to know
about the mace module, it seems.
