I've backported the most recent napi sources I could find to 2.4.19-rc1.
The patches are available at http://orr.falooley.org/pub/linux/net/.

Testing and suggestions are welcome. Currently backported napi drivers
are e1000, eepro100, tulip, and 3c59x. I intend to backport dl2k and
sundance at some point, but I have no dl2k cards and I'm working with
Donald Becker to get the sundance driver working on the card I have.

Does anyone know of more recent NAPI conversions? Robert Olsson tells me
Jeff Garzik has a more recent tulip conversion, but there are _no_ napi
net drivers in 2.5.25 and I haven't found any others except for those
mentioned at the NAPI ftp site.

Jason

The tulip driver I saw on the napi web site was based off of the one in kernel 2.4.2, which was back when tulip was broken for a lot of cards (especially mine).

Is that where you got the basis for this last port?

Thanks, I'll try out the tulip and NAPI patches ASAP.
