These are the "most interesting" things that I've seen come across cvs-all. If possible I would like an alpha person to take a look to make sure all of the RELNOTES.TXT changes are really applicable. >How-To-Repeat: >Fix: Index: release/texts/alpha/RELNOTES.TXT =================================================================== RCS file: /cvsroot/src/release/texts/alpha/RELNOTES.TXT,v retrieving revision 1.47 diff -c -r1.47 RELNOTES.TXT *** release/texts/alpha/RELNOTES.TXT 2000/08/15 18:05:02 1.47 --- release/texts/alpha/RELNOTES.TXT 2000/08/15 22:31:12 *************** *** 76,81 **** --- 76,91 ---- Added support for PCI ethernet adapters based on the National Semiconductor DP83815 chipset, including the NetGear FA312-TX. + The tap driver, a virtual Ethernet device driver for bridged + configurations, has been added.
