My old kernel crashed whenever, I booted up with the pcmcia token ring card
plugged in. I actually usually only boot linux at home where I don't have
the token ring network anyhow (although I will have the occasional use for
it at work in the future), but since it is a pain to remember to always pop
the card, I tried upgrading the kernel, pcmcia-cs utils, and so forth to
see if the problems have been fixed.
In doing so, I found a couple small problems with the ibmtr_cs
1) the configuration script, drivers/net/pcmcia, if I am understanding it
right, seems to have the pcmcia ibmtr_cs.o module having a dependency on
itself, so it can't see selected in make (x)config.
2) the ibmtr.c module requires a symbol: csum_partial_copy, which isn't
exported for i386 right now. This appears to be a compatability interface
that is in the process of being phased out, so perhaps this is on purpose
(Mingo?)
Does somebody want to look at my Config.in changes and see if they seem
fine (it does allow the config option to be selected). If so, I can submit
that change to the proper channels (is that still a direct mail to Linus?)
