: 1) Go back to 2.0.33

2.0.33 has broken support for some 3Com PCI cards.

: 2) Copy the driver from 2.0.33 into 2.0.34, it works. ("cp aic7xxx*"
:is enough.)

I did try this, however, by copying from 2.0.33 into 2.0.35;
communications with SCSI tape devices is broken, with this attempt. I
hate to ask a stupid question, but should I expect rather different
results if I actually just did exactly as you say, and copy from 2.0.33
to 2.0.34? I would just try it except that my troubles are on production
servers, for which any maintenance is a major inconvenience.

To be quite honest, SCSI tape support for my the controllers I'm using
(2940UW and 3940) seems to be broken in 2.0.33.

I'd appreciate any pointers on how to enough of this working. I have
ten 3Com 905 cards and $5k in SCSI equipment that Linux seems to be 
choking on.
