Improving Linux Driver Installation.







Improving Linux Driver Installation.

Improving Linux Driver Installation. 09/10/2004 11:49 PM

O'Reilly Network: Improving Linux Driver Installation. Auto-downloading drivers was my first thought when I saw HAL, but as the article points out there are many pitfalls. BTW, I'm tired of reading about auto-compiling drivers or kernels or whatever. I don't want to run untested stuff, and anything compiled on my machine is by definition untested.

ATA over Ethernet driver 10 (For Linux
2.6 branch)


ATA over Ethernet driver 10 (For Linux
2.6 branch)
04/11/2005 05:14 PM
This driver allows the Linux kernel to use the ATA over Ethernet (AoE) network protocol. Using AoE, a Linux system can use AoE block devices like EtherDrive (R) storage blades. The block devices appear as local device nodes (e.g. /dev/etherd/e0.0).
Changes:
A bugfix makes the driver record the new MAC address when a new EtherDrive blade is inserted into the same shelf and slot from which a previous blade has been removed. The firmware version of each aoe device is now visible through a "fwver" file in sysfs.

ATA over Ethernet driver 2.6-8 (For

03/24/2005 04:09 PM
This driver allows the Linux kernel to use the ATA over Ethernet (AoE) network protocol. Using AoE, a Linux system can use AoE block devices like EtherDrive (R) storage blades. The block devices appear as local device nodes (e.g. /dev/etherd/e0.0).
Changes:
The configuration of allowable network interfaces has been fixed and improved. A module load option and a corresponding boot option now allow the interfaces list to be set when driver is initialized. Userland software has been split out into the separate aoetools package. Documentation has been updated and improved.

ATI readies big Linux driver push


ATI readies big Linux driver push 09/24/2004 01:37 PM
ATI IS here in Cyprus to outline its recently announced X700 and Catalyst drivers.
Terry Makedon, a senior product manager, largely talked about those, but he did say the firm is readying a major push in the next few weeks to outline its plans for Linux driver support. He said that ATI has three main goals for Linux. He said that ATI supports Linux which represents around four per cent of the market, and that the firm’s Linux efforts are proportional to the market.

He said that ATI had rebuilt its Linux driver team with a lot of new developers. He said ATI will improve its test process including automated test methodologies, lots of new ways of testing more efficiently. He said ATI’s priority was to make PCIe Linux drivers ready as well as provide support for AMD64.

ATA over Ethernet driver for Linux 2.6-7
(Default branch)
03/17/2005 03:35 AM
This driver allows the Linux kernel to use the ATA over Ethernet (AoE) network protocol. Using AoE, a Linux system can use AoE block devices like EtherDrive (R) storage blades. The block devices appear as local device nodes (e.g. /dev/etherd/e0.0).
Changes:
Support for multiple AoE targets with the same MAC address was completed. For compatibility with older 2.6 kernels, the new endian-marked types were replaced with old-style fixed-size unsigned types. The documentation was updated.
