My mostly-generic 82586-based-Ethernet driver should work for this card with the addition/modification of about three routines. (I considered doing this myself, but I don't have one, so I decided against it.) If you have enough technical information about this board, or the source to a Packet Driver for it, then you should be able to make it work. We have a few of these pc586 cards in my lab. I looked into doing a port of your driver. The meager documentation that came with the cards indicates the cards have no I/O ports - the registers must be memory mapped. If someone knows where the registers are, the rest would be easy. -- unx hs its wk Jim McKim / Internet: mckim@lerc.nasa.gov pts bt obts cmd Phone: +1 216 891 2283 / Packet: kb8dcr@kb8dcr.ampr.org nms isnt 1 of thm
