[PATCH] depca update (was Re: [Patch] DMA mapping API for Alpha)

this patch has been sleeping
in Alan tree for quite some time. It updates the depca driver to the EISA/sysfs API, gets rid of check_region, and properly reserve memory region. Patch is against latest BK.

[PATCH] better ali1563 integrated ethernet support

it turns out the tulip driver is a much better driver for the integrated ali1563 ethernet than the dmfe driver... the dmfe driver gets tx timeouts every ~15s and can't receive over 5MB/s. but with the small tulip patch below i'm seeing 11MB/s+ in both directions without problems.

[PATCH] Update mac ethernet drivers

This patch updates the bmac and mace ethernet drivers so that their interrupt routines return an irqreturn_t, and updates the bmac driver to use a spinlock rather than global cli/sti.

[PATCH] WE-16 for Wavelan Pcmcia driver

[PATCH] Wireless Extension 16

This patch for 2.5.68-bk11 will update Wireless Extension to
version 16 :
o increase bitrate and frequency number for 802.11g/802.11a
o enhanced iwspy support
o minor tweaks and cleanups

This patch is only for the core of WE. The patches for the
individual drivers have been sent to their respective maintainers.
Compared to the previous version I sent you a few weeks ago,
I've just updated to the latest kernel.

[PATCH] irq fixes for wavelan_cs/netwave_cs

This patch for 2.5.68-bk11 will fix the irq handler of some
obsolete wireless drivers (wavelan, wavelan_cs and netwave_cs) plus assorted fixes. All those drivers have been tested on a SMP box.

[PATCH] switch sb1000 to new style net init & pnp

This cleans up the driver big time and gets rid of a big ugly wart in setup.c. Note that I don't have the hardware so this is only compile-tested.
