What's new?

08/27/2005 gani-0.8.20 was released.

0. General Descriptions

As device drivers are loaded in the kernel space, they may cause serious problems i.e. panic or system hang. Please ensure that the driver works fine before you install it into /kernel directory. Some testing methods are described in README in the distributions.

I started some following works with porting Linux nic drivers into Solaris. But I have re-written all of them not to use Linux driver codes, as I was pointed out that it was violation of GPL to link GPL drivers into properiety kernel.

Now licensing of the drivers is under changing. Formerly the drivers were distributed under LGPL, but the new releases will be distributed under the BSD license.

For sparc platforms, it needs solaris8 10/01 or later. You also need C compiler, escpecially gcc3.x to make 64bit binaries, as compiled binaries for sparc are not included in the distributions. You can also use C compilers in Sun products.

For x86 platforms under solaris9 or previous, it needs to disable PnP OS or ACPI in BIOS setting to avoid incorrect IRQ assignment problem in Solaris x86. You also should assign IRQs to all devices on board in BIOS setting even if Solaris doesn't use them. Putting below into /boot/solaris/bootenv.rc may work too.

setprop acpi-user-options '0x2'

But under solais10, I was pointed out that the problems above were fixed, aka, you should first try with ACPI/APIC enabled and no specific settings. (thank to Casper)

1. pctc driver for 3COM 3C589 PCMCIA cards
