I don't post every little driver revision, but this one might be helpful
to some folks using the newer Cyclades PCI multiport cards with Linux
There is a new release of the Cyclom-Y and Cyclades-Z Linux driver
available for free download at:
http://www.sellcom.com on the tech support page
The following information and "tips" were provided by Beltran at Cyclades
for this current release.
Package Version : 3.2.1 (1999/01/05)
Driver Version : 2.1.1.11 (1998/12/30)
FW version (Z only) : 3.2.1 (1998/12/17)
Kernels supported : 2.0.x
Changes from previous version (3.2.0):
- Changed access to PLX PCI bridge registers from I/O to MMIO
(Memory-Mapped I/O), in order to make PLX9050-based boards (new YoP's and
the upcoming YeP v2) work with certain motherboards;
- The install installation script was changed so that it detects the
driver version currently installed and decides whether it should install
the driver version included in the package.
Comments:
Any customers who face problems in transmitting / receiving data on
Cyclom-Y boards (especially _Cyclom-YoP's_, and especially motherboards
with _Phoenix BIOS_, which is the only common characteristic on all systems
that presented the problem) should upgrade their driver to this driver
version.
A good way to detect the problem is by checking whether the board has
generated any interrupts to the system, once you try to send data through
one of its ports. You can do that by executing the command:
cat /proc/interrupts
before and after the data traffic generation, and comparing the number of
interrupts under cyclomY. If there are no interrupts generated, then the
bug was detected and, thus, the driver upgrade is required in order to make
the board work.
