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 patch50.gz
- CONFIG_I_AM_A_BROKEN_BSD_WEENIE taken out of config.in
- Missed a check for the floppy device in the I/O request queuer.
- Support for detecting the "ST11 BIOS V1.7" added to XT hard disk driver.
- 3c501 driver made somewhat more reliable by eliminating a critical region.
- LANCE driver improved to work with VLB NE2100 compatibles, and the HP
J2405A and HP Vectra built-in adapter.
- AHA152x now knows about the VTech Platinum SMP.
- SCSI drivers know about the QUANTUM PD1225S.
- Oops. Memory mapper wasn't checking for failed kmalloc's.
- Moved the arphdr structure to if_arp.h for compatibility with BSD based
programs.
- The 802.2 network handler didn't work with more than one protocol registered.
- Yet more small nasties removed from the TCP code.
