I wish I knew how to program in C.  I'd _volunteer_ to do this and save
David some money.  If there is some other way I could contribute to getting
this accomplished, someone, anyone, let me know.

Subject: Re: LCS drivers for 2.4.9 ?

-snip-
I think the fastest way to solve this problem is to volunteer a team of
programmers to go to an IBM facility, sign away their first-born children in
terms of NDAs, and rewrite the OSA and QDIO drivers to have a portable
interface that would be acceptable to the kernal development folks. I'll
volunteer to pay a resource to do this -- if there are others reading this
that are willing to do the same, I think we can make this work (certainly
given that a number of the subscribers of this list work for big software
companies that do this kind of development, we chip in a bit, give Neale,
Rick, and Ross an all-expenses-paid week in Poughkeepsie), and we should
have something we (both the community and IBM) like at the end.
