Hello,
I have been trying to figure out how the fast switching modifications to
the tulip driver work. As I understand it this is an experimental
feature in the Linux kernel. The main problem is it won't compile, there
are many errors one of the first being a warning for using the old pci
interface from including bios32.h. Is there anyone out there who knows
where documentation exists or who wrote this stuff?
The driver is called tulip-recycle.c and below is a listing of the
errors when I try to compile it as a module, but I get the same errors
when I try to compile it into the kernel. For simplicity I just changed
the name of the tulip-recycle.c to tulip.c so any reference to tulip.c
in the following listing actually refers to tulip-recycle.c. The kernel
I am making this with is 2.2.14 and the following listing is from
compiling it as part of the kernel. Any help would be appreciated!
