The new driver does work with the 3c503, and the performance and reliability with it exceed the 'ec' driver. As far as the over-run's that you are seeing are concerned, the 'ec' driver experiances these as well - it just doesn't do anything about it, which can lead to board lock-ups and other not-so-nice behavior. And regarding the d0000 default for ed0, nothing prevents you from setting this to anything you like. I use cc000 myself so that I can switch between SMC 8013 boards and 3c503 boards without rebuilding a different kernel. -DG David Greenman davidg@implode.rain.com
