It works on i386 but needs GIANT due to the driver not being locked. I tried a few times to dig in and bring asr into the 21st century, but lack of skill and the horrific mess of the driver conspire against me. Scott Long worked on it a fair bit over the last year or so, but most of what he did was just code cleanup. The driver is less evil now, but evil nonetheless. We need to fix asr or port i2o from NetBSD. Either requires a non-trivial level of skill and effort. -- Jonathan Noack | noackjr@alumni.rice.edu | OpenPGP: 0x991D8195 --------------enig1F5E427949D00DF67440183D Content-Type: application/pgp-signature; name="signature.asc" Content-Description: OpenPGP digital signature Content-Disposition: attachment; filename="signature.asc" -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.1 (FreeBSD) iD8DBQFCnQxrUFz01pkdgZURArQwAJ9Mj5l2XBPZA15bliWfR+nMjFcflQCfaMna nFHoFwFcntpoP5ANpDsw7e0= =pqll -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --------------enig1F5E427949D00DF67440183D--
