Andreas is talking about the 2.2 patch, BTW.
http://www.uow.edu.au/~andrewm/linux/#3c59x-2.2
And the breakage is on the Vortex chip, 3c590 - this is significant
because it uses rather different code paths.
And ooolookydat:
#define EISA_TBL_OFFSET 5
should have been 6!
There was a magic and very fragile "4" emedded in the driver. I turned
it into this #define and miscounted. 2.3 is OK.
Guys, please try this, let me know? If someone can test the 2.3 driver
as well?
insl & outsl are only used in one place, BTW.
