(forgot this today in the afternoon, sorry) Andrew: I just want to add some details of our test, so you'll get an idea of our test base: I installed the newest version of our patch/driver today on 48 Fujitsu-Siemens Pentium III workstations in our university. These machines are for public use, are running 24x7, and will be used every now and then by different people... Also, I installed the driver today sucessfully on a Compaq-dual-processor server with SMP kernel. A 2nd one will follow the next days. All these machines have the SMC EtherPower II FTX card and are connected to HP ProCurve Switches via the FX interface. I'll certainly report any problems we face with these machines here ASAP... The other combinations (SMC9432FTX card to 100BaseT switch, SMC9432FTX card to 10BaseT Switch/hub (not sure), SMC9432TX to 100BaseT and 10BaseT Switch/hub) were only tested for some time today (mainly "ping -f" tests, severel plug ins and outs) as we don't have any of these combinations in use with Linux permanently. So, I think the main things we need now are some time of experience with our machines and someone who will test the modifications on a SMC9432BTX with the BNC connector. But I doubt that there are still many of these cards out there, so perhaps it isn't that important... What do you think, Andrew? What are the prospects our patch will go in the 2.4.X-kernel soon? Any additional ideas for improvement?
