 based on the Kernel Newbies list and may be incomplete.  I have
 excluded CAN and WAN drivers as unlikely to be useful, and SR-IOV VF
 drivers as not necessary (they are a useful optimisation but we
 already have PV networking drivers).  There are still some platform
 drivers in the list that can probably be ignored as not useful in any
 current kernel flavour.
 
 I don't think we can cover all of these, even after excluding the
 unused platform drivers.  So we'll need to prioritise.

Ben, do you plan further driver backports to oldstable or shall we close
the bug?

Unless some of these backports are known to fix data loss or
something, I think it makes sense to close.

Right, I don't ever expect to add any new hardware support to
oldstable.

I can confirm Debian 6.0.3 has support for the Intel 82579LM adapter.

A backport for the Intel 82579LM didn't make it into 6.0.2 release, is this 
still possibly being worked on for 6.0.3?

Bug#624794: Missing support for various storage and network

2011-10-11 Thread Terry Burton 
Regarding possible support for the Intel 82579LM and 82579V in Squeeze:

Many (but not all) devices including an Intel 82579 series NIC have a
hardware fault at 100Mbps that results in packet loss that is worked
around by the following recent patch:
http://patchwork.ozlabs.org/patch/109926/

Upstream commit: 0ed013e28fe853244f4972cf18d8e2bd62eeb8fc

It would be necessary to cherry pick this in order for these NICs to
function at 100Mbps.

More detail is provided in bug #644096.


Thanks,

Terry

 I'd like to see newest Intel network driver ixgbe. I've a few brand new DELL 
 R510 servers with 04:00.0 0200: 8086:151c (rev 01) network cards which the 
 stock Debian 6.0 linux kernel can't use.

I'm not personally going to work on that, but of course others may.

To do (or not):

acard-ahci: New driver.  Depends on ahci/libahci split so would be tricky
to backport.

   (53bc7aa08b48e5cd745f986731cc7dc24eef2a9f)

   There are many other changes in the same commit.
be2iscsi: Add support for BE3 (f98c96b0b6572b5491e954148509b20f08f31491).
  This was a new driver in 2.6.32 and based on subsequent commits
  appears to be quite broken.  I would suggest a wholesale backport.
be2net: add support for Lancer (fe6d2a38b2076cba515dc95b5dc1589a7ab51c17)
bnx2x: Add 57712 support (f2e0899f0f275cc3f5e9c9726178d7d0ac19b2db).
   This makes many changes to existing code and will need testing on
   old and new devices.
carl9170: New driver, but seems to be meant as a replacment for ar9170usb
  and has the same device IDs.
cnic: Add support for 57712 device (ee87a82a28cddbb9267a294172ecb3d3d3bdaa6c).

Bug#624794: Missing support for various storage and network devices

2011-05-01 Thread Ben Hutchings 
Package: linux-2.6
Version: 2.6.32-33
Severity: important

Since Linux 2.6.32 the following updates have been made to storage and
network drivers that might be used during installation.  The list is
based on the Kernel Newbies list and may be incomplete.  I have
excluded CAN and WAN drivers as unlikely to be useful, and SR-IOV VF
drivers as not necessary (they are a useful optimisation but we
already have PV networking drivers).  There are still some platform
drivers in the list that can probably be ignored as not useful in any
current kernel flavour.

I don't think we can cover all of these, even after excluding the
unused platform drivers.  So we'll need to prioritise.

Ben.
