Lots of history involved in answering that question :) Basically, Linus's and Becker's development styles are different. If you want some feature from Donald Becker's drivers in the kernel, you'll need to send a patch to me and/or linux-kernel@vger.kernel.org. Becker's drivers _should_ work in 2.4 now, so you can grab his driver from ftp://www.scyld.com/pub/network/ along with supporting files pci-scan.[ch] and kern_compat.h. If you can narrow down the problem you are seeing, it would be great to merge that fix into the kernel. Jeff - : send the line "unsubscribe linux-net" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
