[TULIP] Need new maintainer
The Tulip network driver needs a new maintainer! I no longer have time to maintain the Tulip network driver and I'm stepping down. Jeff Garzik would be happy to get volunteers. The only current major outstanding patch I know of is Grant's shutdown race patch, which was incorrectly dropped as obsoleted from -mm (my fault, I was moving at the time): http://www.mail-archive.com/[EMAIL PROTECTED]/msg12161.html I have a very much non-working patch to do it with the preferred order, ask me for it and I'll see if I can dig it up. It's unpleasant partly because it pointed out a lot of latent bugs (e.g., del_timer_sync() in interrupt context). Also, someone is working on support for an emulated Tulip card (yes, Tulip will _never_ die), so expect possible patches for that. -VAL - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe netdev" in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html

And I coulda handed you a suitcase full of cards and I missed my chance! It's fine by me, although Jeff is the final arbiter.

I'm sorry to see you have to drop this one...C'est la Vie. > Since I already take care of a major consumer of these devices (parisc, > which pretty much all have tulip) I'm willing to take care of this. > Alternately, Grant is probably willing. Yeah, I am willing and able to maintain tulip as well. Either way, parisc and some mips64 folks are stuck with tulip since that's what is "embedded" on the motherboard. So it would make sense for someone from either camp to maintain it. Thanks to David Lang for the offer of 4-port Dlink Tulip card. HP has two types of 4-port tulip cards (64-bit/33Mhz and 32-bit/33Mhz) that I gave to Val...so whoever picks up the maintainership can probably (eventually) get those from Val. thanks, grant - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe netdev" in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
