| 2 | This is my implementation of a new network task
|
|---|
| 3 | for the Minix kernel. I did it initially to handle
|
|---|
| 4 | a 3c501 board (Etherlink), but those board are so
|
|---|
| 5 | unstable that it is not worth using them except for
|
|---|
| 6 | learning how to implement a driver. When I got a
|
|---|
| 7 | 3c509b board (Etherlink III) it was easier to
|
|---|
| 8 | write the code to handle them.
|
|---|

|
|---|
| 10 | The Minix code in 'dp8390.c' is too specific for the
|
|---|
| 11 | National chip set, so what I did was to remove as
|
|---|
| 12 | much as I needed of the code dependant from the chip
|
|---|
| 13 | and produce a generic task that, I hope, will be able
|
|---|
| 14 | to handle many more cards.

| 25 | The driver for the NEx000 has been rewritten to be
|
|---|
| 26 | operational with the ACCTON 18xx (an NE1000 clone)
|
|---|
| 27 | The I/O routines for 16 bit cards are still untested..

|

| 30 | Initial revision
|
|---|
| 31 | The package is not fully tested, i.e. I had only 3Com
|
|---|
| 32 | boards (3c501, 3c503, 3c503/16 and 3c509b) and WD8003.
|
|---|
| 33 | I got also a NE1000 clone but it was not fully
|
|---|
| 34 | operational and I could not appreciate the results.
|
|---|
| 35 | For this reason the changes done to the interface
|
|---|
| 36 | to I/O for 8 and 16 bits are not tested.
