Re: Donald Becker's ethernet drivers

1997-05-23 Thread Thomas Gebhardt

 Any chance of getting the ethernet drivers listed as supported
 in the ethernet howto, but stored at cesdis.gsfc.nasa.gov instead
 of in the main linux kernel, included in the base debian kernel
 distribution?
 

The Boomerang driver (updated Vortex driver) has already been included
in the latest kernel-source (2.0.20-6) and the kernel images of the
boot disks.

Are there other drivers that need to be included?

Cheers, Thomas

Do they compile as modules? Maybe someone could package them up as kernel
modules in a separate desdis-drivers package, or something like that.

The eepro100.c file had a line in it (grep gcc eepro100.c) which
said how to compile it (given /usr/include/linux for a kernel
of proper version) without touching anything else.

Note that I needed this to install the important and standard
debian packages.  Some kind of optional driver set wouldn't have
been very useful to me.  What I would have needed would have been
an updated drivers disk.
