[Barrelfish-users] Tulip driver

[Patrik Eklöf]

Sounds bad.
But what exactly does "bit-rotted" mean?
What needs to be done, except making it work with the current networking API, to make it work?
If the driver WORKS, but just needs updating to work with the current API, then I might look into it.

Hi Patrik,

The tulip driver hasn’t been built in years AFAIK… it has bit-rotted pretty heavily, and among other things would need to be updated to work with the current networking APIs. But if you wanted to take it on, I’m sure a patch would be welcome :) I guess the starting point would be looking at one of the other working drivers.

Hi all,

I'd like to build the tulip driver for bf.
It would seem that bf does not automatically build this, and there is no mention of this in the network readme.
Trying to compile manually results in lots of errors (lots of unknown types).
I'm guessing this driver hasn't been touched in some time? Does it work with an older version of gcc? Should I just try to fix it manually by fixing the errors?
