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 patch66.gz
- This summary was written by Linus:
- Updated floppy driver: you can disable it or compile it as a module,
and it should also handle the disk-change line better on some
strange hardware.
- Always IN2000 SCSI driver added.
- QLOGIC SCSI (not PCI) driver added.
- HP PCLAN PLUS driver config.in entry added.
- More spelling fixes.
- Cosmetic changes to the harddisk driver (bootup messages).
- Apricot ethernet driver sanity check added.
- Network device drivers can have up to 16 different private ioctls.
- AX25 synax error sillyness fixed.
- Aha152x update.
- Limited PhotoCD support for SCSI CDROMs.
- Added Pentium fdiv bug check at bootup.
- Silly multicast test fixed (it tested the wrong byte..)
- Various minor net fixes by Alan and Ross.
