[realtek-announce] Annoucing rtl8139.c:v1.22 11/17/2002 and a list name change

[Donald Becker]

The updated version of the Realtek 8139 driver is
   rtl8139.c:v1.22 11/17/2002
The changes are summarized below.

First, an important note:
____
  !!!  ALL FUTURE DRIVER ANNOUNCEMENTS WILL BE MADE ON THE
  !!!   Driver-announce@scyld.com
  mailing list.  You list subscription be automatically moved to that list.
  This will be the final message under this list name -- please update your
  email filters.

  This is necessary because the current announcement lists are very low
  volume, and the spam level is dramatically increasing.  There are about
  2000 spam attempts for every valid announce message.

This is to announce the fall 2002 update to the PCI Ethernet driver set.

Almost every PCI Ethernet driver that I maintain has been updated to the
current interface described in pci-skeleton.c v2.12.

The updated drivers are available at
   ftp://www.scyld.com/pub/network/test/*
and will be moved into the release directory in approximately one week
   ftp://www.scyld.com/pub/network/*

The combined set is
   ftp://www.scyld.com/pub/network/test/netdrivers-3.tgz
