Backyard gallery

I recently checked our pool contractor's website, and found my backyard in his gallery. It looks pretty cool on his website. Check it out here.

dmfe putback done

I just fixed a bunch of dmfe changes... most notably, the driver will now support add-in PCI cards. Look for it in snv76.

SecureDigital, and other memory formats

So I've been tasked with writing a driver for the SecureDigital controller found on certain laptops. As part of this effort, I'd like to take a straw poll. If you could e-mail or post a comment on this blog, indicating your response, I'd be grateful. Note that this is only for folks with card readers that are *not* USB connected. (USB readers are already covered by USB mass storage.)

a) how many SDcard slots do you have?
b) do you use older MMC media?
c) do you have any SDIO peripherals? (I.e. devices other than memory cards.)
d) do you have slots other than SDcard (such as xD or memstick) that are important to you? Which ones? (Again, not for USB connected media readers!)
e) I'm interested in prtconf -vp output for different readers. If you're game, send it to me, along with the make and model of your laptop.

Thanks!

dmfe for x86 and unbundled PCI nics on SPARC

I've got a dmfe driver working on both SPARC and x86, and it supports some unbundled PCI NICs. (The original driver only worked with onboard dm9102s on certain SPARC hardware.) The Davicom 9102 part is not terribly common, but some low end NICs sold by companies like C/Net and Buffalo use it.

Hopefully this will be putback into snv75.

oops, qfe is b74

I lied... (not intentionally, I got confused.) The qfe GLDv3 port is in b74, not b73. Sorry!
