Description Ben Elliston 2002-02-25 07:16:50 UTC
The dc395x_trm kernel module supports the very popular range of Tekram PCI SCSI
controllers.  To date, this module is still not in the official kernel tree, but
it would be fantastic if this driver could be packaged with Red Hat Linux.  Its
URL is:

I spend a *lot* of time building this driver every time a new errata kernel is
released. :-(

Comment 1 Michael K. Johnson 2003-02-19 14:56:35 UTC
Our default policy is not to add drivers that have not at least
been submitted upstream.  If they have been submitted and denied,
we usually don't include them, either -- there's generally a
reason.

Adding drivers in that aren't included in the upstream kernel is
intended as a TEMPORARY solution while they are being added to the
upstream kernel only.
