Personally, I prefer the 3c59x driver over the 3COM one any day. We included the 3C90x driver in 7.0 because at that time the 3c59x was not usable on all existing cards. The updated 2.2.19 kernel's 3c59x should support all of them and is rather stable. The 3COM driver has seen MUCH less "exposure" (eg it has been tested much less by kernel developers and helping users) and hence is more likely to contain bugs.... OK. If the 3c59x driver is better, then I suggest kudzu be modified to choose 3c59x rather than 3c90x when it sees 3c905C cards. Would save the next sap the trouble I've seen. For 7.1 it is; however for 7.0 it's a slightly different story. People get (rightfully) upset if we change driver under them automatically.... |
