This page is a simple project page for me. I use it to keep track of things concerning the Hurd. If you wish to comment do so in [[TWiki/GoodStyle]], preferably at the bottom of this topic.

Currently I'm working on importing new Linux drivers to the OSKit. "New" means simply to add more of the drivers existing in Linux 2.2.X that don't exist in the OSKit today.
## <a name="Add_new_Linux_drivers_to_the_OSK"> </a> Add "new" Linux drivers to the OSKit
To test any of the work in this project you first need to upgrade the OSKit to Linux 2.2.22 using my patches below.

## <a name="Upgrade_OSKit_Linux_drivers"> </a> Upgrade OSKit Linux drivers
The OSKit itslef is currently at Linux version 2.2.12 for most of its drivers. The objective of this project was to upgrade from 2.2.12 to 2.2.22.
The first patch brings the drivers up to version 2.2.13, it also includes some [[Mach/UsefulOskitPatches]].
**_Note:_**
1. The patches are cummulative, i.e., you only need one.
2. The patches only upgrade existing OSKit drivers, they don't add support for new ones.
The second statement is important since the corresponding Linux patches **do** add new drivers.

Testing against [[Mach/OskitMach]] is currently a real hassle. Fortunately I found [an older **stable** oskit-mach](http://gnufans.org/joachim/hurd/oskit-mach-2002-06-22.tgz) (before Roland messed up the GDT's) -- dated June 2002.
# <a name="Future_Work"> Future Work </a>
1. _Try to enable GNUmach to use the [[FreeBSD]] drivers in the OSKit_<br /> I have now looked into this. The [[FreeBSD]] PCI related drivers are initialized from the [[FreeBSD]] PCI probe. GNUmach uses the Linux PCI stuff and hence it would not be done easily.
2. Port a simple DHCP client.
3. Use the sound drivers in the OSKit -- port a useful sound daemon.
4. I want to get SMP working with OSKit-mach.
