This is very good news indeed. My thanks also to all the people in IBM that worked to make this happen.
But, I notice no mention of the qeth and qdio modules. My understanding is that the code in these modules is also in the HiperSockets driver, and hence considered highly secret for reasons of competitive advantage. So, are these modules going to be re-architected so that the OCO parts are not kernel version dependent? It really would be good to have a wrapper that can be recompiled for new kernels without having to get new versions of the OCO parts.

The LCS device driver (formerly available as OCO, only) is now provided in source-code form. This version of the LCS-driver contains the source-code for the 2002-01-21 (same as 2001-12-12) kernel 2.4.7 OCO-modules for 31- and 64-bit. The lcs network driver supports OSA-2 Ethernet Token Ring, and OSA-Express Fast Ethernet in non-QDIO mode. Documentation can be found in the Linux for S/390 & zSeries Device Driver and Installation Commands manuals. Everybody should apply this patch. To create the complete linux kernel sources, the following patches need to be applied in sequence: linux-2.4.7.tar.gz (original kernel source) + linux-2.4.7-s390.diff (IBM) + linux-2.4.7-s390-1.diff (IBM) + linux-2.4.7-s390-2.diff (IBM) + linux-2.4.7-s390-3.diff (IBM) + linux-2.4.7-s390-4.diff (IBM) + linux-2.4.7-s390-5.diff (IBM) + linux-2.4.7-s390-6-lcs.diff (IBM)
