Okay, I got 2.1.131-ac5 compiling on my dec alpha and it works great. The only problem I'm having is dhcpcd. I know that some changes in 2.1 fixed some stupidity in 2.0 networking which were used in dhcpcd. I also know that dhcpcd-1.3.16 is supposed to have fixed this. My problem is, dhcpcd-1.3.6 doesn't work on alpha due to an invalid argument.

I'm not much of a socket programmer and before I started trying to figure it out, I was wondering if anyone knew of an easy fix.

the call is
socket(AF_PACKET, SOCK_PACKET, htons(ETH_P_ALL))

I also had to delete a lot of the -mxxxxx compiler options which were x86 specific.

Also, does anyone know the state of the 3com etherlink xl 3c900b driver?
