starfire NIC driver on alpha
I use Adaptec quad NICs in my 3 alphas. I submitted a bug about 2
years ago with a simple patch to the starfire driver to make it work
on the alpha. Basically, a "|| defined (__alpha__)" needs to be
added to an expression in the driver code. The submiited bug is
#305330. Could this get into etch? Without it, I don't have a
network when I do an install and I have to recompile the starfire
driver and update it before I can get the machine back on the network
and complete any network based package installation.
Thanks,
Bob
