Depends on if the bug were duped too. I think I found the real problem anyway, and it wasn't directly eisaconf's fault. Update_intr_masks() was broken in stable or its behavior changed in current, so that when the code was ported back to stable, it wasn't properly registering its interrupt. >I think EISA probing ought to be limited to EISA bus machines. Call >me strange. 8-). I think that using anything other than eisaconf for devices that look and behave like EISA devices is a waste of code and a cludge. Forcing the 2842 to use our ISA registration routines is certainly not a better alternative. > > > Terry Lambert > terry@lambert.org >--- >Any opinions in this posting are my own and not those of my present >or previous employers. -- Justin T.
