new linux Z8530 driver out...

[Joerg Reuter DL1BKE <DL1BKE@melaten.ihf.rwth-aachen.de>]

Hello,

At last I found  the z8530 programming handbook with more information
on the chip than that old data sheet... But what on earth has a SCC to
do with "16 bit MMUs"? It will remain a secret of SGS forever, I bet ;-)

Anyway, I found some bugs that made the kernel say "Oops" (or even
worse: panic...), found the reason for obscure "tx underruns" in
duplex modes, fixed the patches again for kernel 1.2.0, and so on.

Hope you enjoy it.

You'll find it at

ftp.ucsd.edu:/hamradio/packet/tcpip/incoming/z8530drv-1.8.dl1bke.tar.gz

or the mirror at nic.switch.ch, and in the S&F world sent to UNIX @ EU.

BTW: I'm not in Aachen next week and I do have some problems with my
     AX.25 BBS...
