Misunderstood
Since I read that Dave Miller suffered from some bad illness I decided to offer him some more help researching the T1000 networking trouble:
Hello Dave,
I just wanted to offer you some help on investigating the T1000 tigon3
networking trouble. If you have any debug patches for the driver we will
be able to test them here on our T1000 and pass on the results to you.
His answer was, well, some kind of indignant:
Why do you keep pinging us over and over again? When we get time
Fabbione and I will happily look into your problem.
I've been fighting several severe illnesses and health problems
lately, and you keep bugging me is not helping me want to help you
with your bug.
Sit back, and relax. Are you able to do this? Just be patient, we'll
get to it eventually.
I understand that David was not so well the last weeks, and I understand that he has lots of work to do now. But I never mailed him directly before, just CCed some mails to Fabio (and those were some days ago). And I do not think that I put any pressure in my mail.
I appreciate the stuff David does very much an he is my Sun T1 hero for sure. But goofing on someone who wants to help is for sure not improving the community progress in any way. I am used to help in open source development (e.g. Marc Singer and his Sharp LH linux port), and my offers for help were never answered this way before.
Well, I hope Dave only had a bad day. Anyway my offer ist standing. If any testing has to be done, I am there.
