I was wondering when someone would get around to writing a driver for a Stallion card. I have an 8 port card floating around, model no stencilled on the top component side is V3.2 I Will your driver support this card? If so: 1) Does it use the card in dumb mode ( I hope not, you _do_ work for Anvil I presume!) 2) Can the card support 16550 uarts at 115200 in dumb ot intelligent modes 3) Does it have any of those nice monitoring tools 8-) (siomon?) 4) Do you have a set of patches I can grab, I'm running 2.0.5 until my 2.1 CD arrives _and_ I'm on holidays till Jan 15 > > So how do I do that? > > Seeya > Gerg > > > --------------------------------------------------------------------------- > Greg Ungerer EMAIL: gerg@stallion.com > Stallion Technologies Pty Ltd PHONE: +61 7 3270 4271 > 33 Woodstock Rd, Toowong, QLD 4066, Australia FAX: +61 7 3270 4245 > _-_|\ Terry Dwyer E-Mail: tdwyer@netbsd08.dn.itg.telecom.com.au / \ System Administrator Phone: +61 9 491 5161 Fax: +61 9 221 2631 *_.^\_/ Telecom Australia Telstra Corporation MIME capable mailer v Perth WA ( I do not speak for Telstra or Telecom )
