Hi,
I've been delaying a while now. But, I finally just went ahead and uploaded
a new kernel to my ftp site:
<ftp://ftp.best.com/pub.s/sbrown/NetBSD/kernels/madhatter#39.tar.gz>
This new kernel has the new sonic driver, the adb hardware direct code from
-current, just the "madhatter" patch from me, and nothing else.
Please let me know if you have problems with it and exactly what the nature
of the problems are.
There is one bug I've found with the Q610 and the sonic driver. If you do
a "warm" reboot(i.e. "shutdown -r now" or "reboot") and then directly boot
back into NetBSD, then the sonic will not function or flake out. If you
always boot from a powered off state, everything seems to work flawlessly.
Please note that this kernel does not support color X(nubus or otherwise).
Assuming testing goes ok, I'll have a new "dormouse" kernel available this
weekend that will contain the nubus colorkit patches applied to -current.
