Briefly:
1) This includes all of the networking bug fixes from Eric and myself,
I believe I have finally fixed transparent proxy.
2) IPMASQ updates from Nigel.
3) ISDN subsystem is now up to date
4) Fix one of the remaining buffer cache bugs, there appears to be
one small one left but more information from people who can trigger
it is needed.
5) Driver updates:
NETWORKING
a) Tulip
b) ATP
c) 3c509
d) I've reverted the Lance driver back to 2.0.30, what was
in the first pre-patch used some PCI probing stuff only
available in 2.1.x, to be discussed with becker...
e) 3c59x.c is now the one from Chris Evans, it seems to
work the best of all the one's I was able to check out
and do preliminary testing on, it is much better than
becker's v0.40 that is for sure ;-)
f) DE4X5 etherworks...
g) WaveLan
SCSI
a) NCR53c8xx
b) Advansys
c) Tekram DC-390
d) GDT ISA/EISA/PCI disk array
SERIAL
a) Specialix IO8+ multi-port serial cards...
6) An IPX performance patch from Volker Lendecke, this will not affect
anyone using IPX unless they enable the new higher performance
techniques via SIOCIPXNCPCONN. Talk to Volker for details ;-)
7) Net ALIAS updates from Juan Jose Ciarlante
8) SIOCSIFHWADDR security hole fix from Alan Cox
9) Fix the last of the IP routing memory leaks hopefully
That should be about it. Unfortunately I did not get a chance to
merge in Stephen Tweedie's ext2 I/O error recovery fixes, that
certainly will make it into 2.0.31 so do not worry. ;-)
I would love it if only one more pre-patch is needed for a final
2.0.31 so people please test this well.
