I find that while PLIP worked in the 2.1.125 kernel (and I have a
report that it worked in 2.1.126ac2), it does not in 2.1.129.
The failure is in a kernel compiled UP, with parport compiled in.
To be precise, "insmod plip" works; "ifconfig plip0 [etc.]" works,
and netstat reports a route; but ping reports I have no permission
to use it.
When I try the old ("lurking") plip.c, insmod fails, reporting
resources busy.
# cat /proc/parport/0/*
MODEL:Unknown device;
MANUFACTURER:Unknown vendor;
base: 0x378
irq: 7
dma: none
modes: SPP,ECP,ECPPS2
7
Clues? What should I try next? What was the most recent kernel
in which PLIP was found to work?
