I cannot answer questions about Linux -- I merely summarize the kernel
patches after reading them. I try to make them useful to everyone,
but kernel hackers should take them with a grain of salt and read the
patches themselves. The patch file is patch-1.3.9.gz
These are from Linus:
- Updates the sound driver to voxware 3.0 (Hannu Savolainen)
- Corrects a few checksum bugs in the alpha code: I now have reports of
alpha networking working over ethernet (depca, ne2000, most probably
de4x5) and ppp.
- Axp ptrace() added (Bob Manson)
- IDE driver update (and the partitioning code updated to know about
disk manager partitions). Mark Lord.
- Seeq8005 network driver. Hamish Coleman.
- SCSI code updates. Eric Youngdale & assoc.
- Extended ext2fs directory entry checking. Remy Card.
- I also hope lance ethernet chips will work again now..
