The following reply was made to PR misc/2795; it has been noted by GNATS. From: Lewis De Payne <lewiz@netcom.com> To: dg@root.com Cc: freebsd-gnats-submit@freebsd.org Subject: Re: misc/2795: Cyclades 8YO -- Not working under 2.1.6-STABLE (fwd) Date: Mon, 24 Feb 1997 13:39:32 -0800 (PST) David, this might be the problem -- the latest driver on the Cyclades ftp site may not be the latest driver. Marcio has now sent me the driver you sent him recently. I'll install it and let you know. Thank you for your quick responses. ---------- Forwarded message ---------- Date: Mon, 24 Feb 1997 12:36:36 -0800 From: Marcio Saito <marcio@cyclades.com> To: Lewis De Payne <lewiz@netcom.com> Cc: Cyclades Technical Support <support@cyclades.com> Subject: Re: misc/2795: Cyclades 8YO -- Not working under 2.1.6-STABLE (fwd) Lewis: I think there was a misunderstanding. The Cyclom-Y driver has been in the FreeBSD kernel for a while. Some time ago, David Greenman *added* PCI support to the driver. By that time, 2.1.5 was the most popular driver. The driver in the ftp area (see README.FREEBSD) is only for 2.1.5 kernels. 2.1.6 has all the support for the Cyclom-Y board already built-in. A few days ago, David Greenman sent me patches for the drivers included in the 2.1.6 kernel. It was my understanding that the patch affected only PCI cards. But it seems that the patches might affect ISA cards and could explain your problems. So, what I suggest is: - Restore the original drivers that came with your 2.1.6. kernel (the driver in the ftp area is only for 2.1.5). - Apply David Greenman's patches (I'm forwarding his message to you right after I sent this one). Marcio. > DG> Did you get and install the updated Cyclades driver for DG> FreeBSD that is available from the Cyclades FTP site?
