Bug#187075: Bug #187075: missing net module sis900
Hi,
Is anyone actively working on this bug? If not, I'll take it up.
There are currently ~3.9 MB of net driver modules in the 2.4.20
kernel. To ensure support for all cards requires that they all be
packaged. To put them on floppies, there will require 3 floppies of
drivers; the usual nic-modules-*-udeb, and ~3 more
nic-modules-extra-[123]-*-udeb udebs, all under 1.4MB to comfortably
fit on one floppy (documentation would list which one you need).
I'm contacting rom-o-matic.org as mentioned in the report, to draw up a
list of which drivers should go in which module (in order of
popularity); any objections or better ideas?
Similarly, while we probably won't support booting from firewire (ugh.),
we should have a firewire modules udeb, to support firewire cdroms,
disks, etc.
I'll draw up the patch for Herbert Xu if nobody else is doing it.
regards,
Alastair
