I just hacked a bit on this driver, made it use interrupts instead of polling and reduced its noise level (it flooded /var/log for me). If you are inclined to compile your own kernel it would be nice to try it out (and let me know if it works for you). :-) The diff against linux-mips.org CVS is available from http://www.csv.ica.uni-stuttgart.de/homes/ths/linux-mips/parport-indy/ Thiemo
