Description a-wall 2002-12-15 17:24:28 UTC

For some reason the drivers are not in the stock linux kernel.
This is a popular board other distros include the driver on their install disks
and kernel sources.

It took me a while to figure out why scsi woulndt work but i could install
because i used a mandrake-8.2 cdrom in rescue mode to install.

It may be a good idea to include the driver.

the driver is  GNU General Public License.

Kernel patches available at ftp://ftp.tekram.com/scsi/3X5/Linux/

I have not had an issue with this particular driver.

Hi,
I took the latest drivers available from
http://www.garloff.de/kurt/linux/dc395/
and patched them against 2.4.20 .

A first pre release of xfs-sources-2.4.20
will be available soon.

Note that the package I found on ftp.tekram.com
seems to be outdated (it's from 1999).
