Yep. There's a mailing list archive for this list at www.debian.org, and
there's list archives for linux-mac68k as well. See the respective web
sites.

Too bad. As I said: I've had the same machine running with both 2.0.36 and
2.1.x. You can try a 2.2 kernel; Sonic got backported to 2.0.36 rather
late.

It just uses the Nubus interrupt (slot 9). It's not accessed via Nubus I/O
(the Sonic is smarter than the SCSI controller, it does do DMA).

There was a macsonic=x,y,z kernel option and one of the x,y,z set the
debug level (1-6 with increasing levels of verbosity). Disappeared in
2.2.10 or before.
