I've been having problems with a SiI3112 card in a server I'm trying to
setup. I've filed a bug with the kernel's bugzilla (bug id: 5279), since
this is almost instantly reproducible with both distribution and
upstream kernels.
This is not the first time I use a SiI3112 controller though; I've at
least one more computer that has this chip and does really well, even
under high loads. The difference is that the latter computer runs a
2.4.x kernel. I've google'd around quite a bit the last few days, only
to see that people are having tons of issues with this controller and
2.6 kernels, so I thought I'd switch back to a 2.4 one; this is going to
be a production system, so stability is much more important to me than
speed or anything.
The reason why I filed this bug report is that IMO there is no reason in
having a package available for download and installation when it can't
be of any use, all of this without letting people know that they can't
do anything with it. Of course, there is a (small) possibility that I've
done something wrong with my build system, in which case I apologize for
the noise. However, I strongly believe that that's not the case. Even
so, I suggest that these things be at least documented or something.
