It has very little onboard buffer space, which causes errors galore on my P133 workstation. The Digital-based cards (listed in the Handbook) are very nice, cheap, and don't have this problem. If you still want the XL it's supported on 2.2 and later. > If possible, how would I make this configuration available in the kernel? > There are ed0 and ed1 in GENERIC, but I don't see anything similar for 3Com, > just xx0.
