1 2This is my implementation of a new network task 3for the Minix kernel. I did it initially to handle 4a 3c501 board (Etherlink), but those board are so 5unstable that it is not worth using them except for 6learning how to implement a driver. When I got a 73c509b board (Etherlink III) it was easier to 8write the code to handle them. 9 10The Minix code in 'dp8390.c' is too specific for the 11National chip set, so what I did was to remove as 12much as I needed of the code dependant from the chip 13and produce a generic task that, I hope, will be able 14to handle many more cards. 15 16$Log$ 17Revision 1.1 2005/06/29 10:16:46 beng 18Import of dpeth 3c501/3c509b/.. ethernet driver by 19Giovanni Falzoni <fgalzoni@inwind.it>. 20 21Revision 1.3 2004/04/14 12:49:07 lsodgf0 22Changes for porting to Minix 2.0.4 run on BOCHS 23 24Revision 1.2 2002/03/25 14:16:09 lsodgf0 25The driver for the NEx000 has been rewritten to be 26operational with the ACCTON 18xx (an NE1000 clone) 27The I/O routines for 16 bit cards are still untested.. 28 29Revision 1.1 2002/02/09 09:35:09 lsodgf0 30Initial revision 31The package is not fully tested, i.e. I had only 3Com 32boards (3c501, 3c503, 3c503/16 and 3c509b) and WD8003. 33I got also a NE1000 clone but it was not fully 34operational and I could not appreciate the results. 35For this reason the changes done to the interface 36to I/O for 8 and 16 bits are not tested. 37 38
