Description Peter Fales 2002-08-05 14:09:56 EDT

Is there any reason why the arcnet modules (arcnet, rcf1201,
com20020, com90xx) couldn't be built as part of the standard 
kernel?  I realize that not to many people use this hardware, 
but there are a few of us, and it would be very helpful.  This
is the main reason why I have to build a new kernel every time
a new RedHat release comes out.  The modules are all pretty small, 
so there shouldn't be much overhead in including them.

Here's another vote for this.  I was about to file a similar request until
I saw that someone beat me to it.  Like the originator, I was going to note
that this should add very little overhead, and would be very helpful
to those of us using arcnet.

Comment 2 Bugzilla owner 2004-09-30 11:39:48 EDT

Thanks for the bug report. However, Red Hat no longer maintains this version of
the product. Please upgrade to the latest version and open a new bug if the problem
persists.

The Fedora Legacy project (http://fedoralegacy.org/) maintains some older releases, 
and if you believe this bug is interesting to them, please report the problem in
the bug tracker at: http://bugzilla.fedora.us/
