I am currently testing the latest version.
Only one question about the topic:
why is the latest driver not included in the kernel-tree? It seems not
very useful to include a currently broken driver at all. Can somebody
give a hint to the maintainer, is he listening?
This seems to be a more global topic after all: I found out that the
current kernel-driver for rocket serial cards is broken, too. It
doesn't even recognise the pci cards (the pci code in it does not
work).
Of course there is a working driver available at Control Inc. Why is
it not included in the kernel? The one included is coming right from
the stone-age.
Is there anybody actively checking the drivers for availability of new
versions? We obviously cannot trust on the authors themselves to
commit them, may not be their fault or even job. Who is to do that in
current maintaining actions? Linus, can you comment?
Regards,
Stephan
