Subject: Enhanced Ethercard driver available for alpha test.
|
|
|
|
My "8390" Linux ethercard drivers are now available from usra.edu and
|
|
super.org in ~ftp/pub/linux/ethercards/*. They'll be at tsx-11 and
|
|
sunsite RSN.
|
|
|
|
These drivers support all common 8390-based ethernet boards. Currently
|
|
"common" is defined as:
|
|
|
|
3Com Products:
|
|
* 3Com 3c503 Board loaned by Chance Reschke, USRA.edu (thanks!)
|
|
3Com 3c503/16 and excellent documentation provided by 3Com.
|
|
|
|
Clones-n-things
|
|
NE1000 Novell and Eagle are useless for documentation,
|
|
* NE2000 but copied the designs directly from NatSemi;->.
|
|
* Alta Combo(NE2000 clone)
|
|
Aritsoft LANtastic AE-2 (NE2000 clone w/ extra memory)
|
|
D-Link Ethernet II
|
|
|
|
Cabletron products:
|
|
E1010 No ID PROM and sketchy info from Ctron means you'll
|
|
E1010-x have to compile-in information about your board.
|
|
E2010
|
|
E2010-x
|
|
|
|
WD/SMC products
|
|
WD8003
|
|
* WD8013 Board loaned by Russ Nelson, Crynwr Software. Thanks!
|
|
|
|
* I've seen it work myself!
|
|
|
|
There is support for the following boards, but since I've only been
|
|
able to borrow a thinnet of an HP ethercard I haven't been able to test it:
|
|
|
|
HP LAN adaptors
|
|
** HP27245
|
|
** HP27247
|
|
** HP27250
|
|
|
|
Thanks are due to the dozens of alpha testers, and special thanks to Chance Reschke <@usra.edu> and Russ Nelson <@crynwr.com> for loaning me ethercards.
