Karsten, i prefer to have these changes documented in bugzilla, where i can refer to in a comment. Blacklist is part of sysconfig package.

So skge or sky2 drive all devices that sk98lin did?

I have no objections.

Comment 2 Karsten Keil 2006-01-31 13:57:43 UTC

The new drivers provide more supported cards as the unpatched sk98lin driver, since we do not longer add addition patches for sk98lin it should be backlisted, we already got some reports about not working sk98lin for 10.0
(e.g. Bug 131551) which worked with skge.

This is also a feature request for CODE10:
151403: Include OSDL authored Marvell driver

Comment 3 Christian Zoz 2006-01-31 14:30:23 UTC

added sk98lin to blacklist
