Linux-2.6.12-rc2v2.6.12-rc2
Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history,
even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git
archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about
3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early
git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good
infrastructure for it.
Let it rip!

1 | This is the README for the Gracilis Packetwin device driver, version 0.5 | ||
2 | ALPHA for Linux 1.3.43. | ||
3 | |||
4 | These files will allow you to talk to the PackeTwin (now know as PT) and | ||
5 | connect through it just like a pair of TNCs. To do this you will also | ||
6 | require the AX.25 code in the kernel enabled. | ||
7 | |||
8 | There are four files in this archive; this readme, a patch file, a .c file | ||
9 | and finally a .h file. The two program files need to be put into the | ||
10 | drivers/net directory in the Linux source tree, for me this is the | ||
11 | directory /usr/src/linux/drivers/net. The patch file needs to be patched in | ||
12 | at the top of the Linux source tree (/usr/src/linux in my case). | ||
13 | |||
14 | You will most probably have to edit the pt.c file to suit your own setup, | ||
15 | this should just involve changing some of the defines at the top of the file. | ||
16 | Please note that if you run an external modem you must specify a speed of 0. | ||
17 | |||
18 | The program is currently setup to run a 4800 baud external modem on port A | ||
19 | and a Kantronics DE-9600 daughter board on port B so if you have this (or | ||
20 | something similar) then you're right. | ||
21 | |||
22 | To compile in the driver, put the files in the correct place and patch in | ||
23 | the diff. You will have to re-configure the kernel again before you | ||
24 | recompile it. | ||
25 | |||
26 | The driver is not real good at the moment for finding the card. You can | ||
27 | 'help' it by changing the order of the potential addresses in the structure | ||
28 | found in the pt_init() function so the address of where the card is is put | ||
29 | first. | ||
30 | |||
31 | After compiling, you have to get them going, they are pretty well like any | ||
32 | other net device and just need ifconfig to get them going. | ||
33 | As an example, here is my /etc/rc.net | ||

52 | This version of the driver comes under the GNU GPL. If you have one of my | ||
53 | previous (non-GPL) versions of the driver, please update to this one. | ||
54 | |||
55 | I hope that this all works well for you. I would be pleased to hear how | ||
56 | many people use the driver and if it does its job. | ||
