This release contains various bug fixes and cleanups. The only new feature is adding 0.9 support. It is available at http://openipmi.sf.net
A major rework has been done to the SMBus (SSIF) driver. It is now quite stable and works well. A significant change is philosophy was made to the driver to improve stability, and it shouldn't have the problems with timeouts that plagued the previous driver versions. As well, the I801 I2C driver added full block transfer support; this has sped up the interface by a factor of three, if your hardware supports it. As usual, the following files are included: linux-ipmi-2.6.23-v39.2.diff Changes to the base IPMI driver. You always need this file. linux-i2c-2.6.23-v39.2.diff linux-i2c-i801-2.6.23-v39.2.diff linux-i2c-piix4-2.6.23-v39.2.diff Changes to the I2C driver to support a polled interface, and specific changes to the I801 and PIIX4 drivers. These are required if you want to use the IPMI SMBus driver. linux-ipmismb-2.6.23-v39.2.diff The IPMI SMBus driver, to access an IPMI device over an I2C bus. This is a new IPMI 2.0 standard and some systems have this. It is also called SSIF. linux-serial-2.6.23-v39.2.diff Changes to the serial code to support a polled interface. This is required for the IPMI serial driver. linux-ipmiserial-2.6.23-v39.2.diff The IPMI serial driver, access to an IPMI device over a serial connection. This included drivers for terminal mode, direct mode, and a Radisys-specific driver. ipmi-2.6.23-v39.2-patches.tar.gz A broken-out set of patches, useful for backporting changes to older releases. -corey ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Splunk Inc.
