DriveTweak is a graphical program equivilant to hdparm which allows you to tweak drive settings. GTK and KDE versions are available.

This project was a kernel-module to support webcams based on the NW802 chipset. Jean-François Moine added support for those in the mainline kernel some time ago, so you should just update your kernel, this project is purely for historical purposes.

This project is largely defunct. The lpfc driver has been upstream for many years and can be readily found in the distributions. Recent driver kits can be found on the Emulex.com website as well as websites for various OEMS. OLD: This project is a development area for a Linux Device driver for Emulex Fibre Channel HBA's, targetting the Linux 2.6 kernel. For White Papers and Errata, please see the driver download area. SCST support has just been added!!

FIPP 4L is to provide a linux kernel driver and C library, which allow programming the Fischertechnik (R) parallel port interface (product ID 30520) in an easy way.
