Hi-
I'd like to announce the release 0.2 alpha for the ST protocol
support in Linux. Besides some clean up and bug-fixes, this
release incorporates limited "native" STP support on Gigabit
Ethernet NIC (Alteon's Tigon-2 based NIC supported by the acenic
driver). This support is in the form of modifications to the
NIC firmware (thanks to Todd Pisek - trp@sgi.com); the acenic
driver has been separately modified to make use of these
enhancements. The firmware enhancements are prototypical at
best and are limited to the receive side functionality only; but
they do show off some of the advantages of using STP, and can
be considered a reasonable starting point for some initial
application development work.
More information, code etc. can be found at:

Send me email, in case you have problems getting to or using any
of the stuff.
thanks,
Aman Singla
MTS, SGI
