Hello:

I just picked up a couple of DEC DE204 cards and have been using
them with the le driver.  They seem to work fine but I have a couple
of random questions:

The card can be configured to offer a memory portal of 2K, 32K or
64K.  The manual page, le(4), doesn't offer any guidance in choosing
a portal size.  Looking at the code, the comments say that the
portal is being forced to 2K regardless of how the card was
configured.  Does that seem correct?

I haven't heard much talk of this driver.  Is it one of those really
solid, well supported ones, like ed, or more one of those "still
thought to have bugs sometimes for some people" drivers like ep?
Are there other satisfied users of this driver out there?

Thanks,
