As the subject says, I have a PCMCIA Ethernet card made
by someone called R.P.T. Intergroups International. I am
hacking on the FreeBSD PCMCIA ze ethernet driver and have
found out various things about the card, such as the
offset of the Ethernet address etc. I have very little
info about the card itself. I can read the CIS structure,
which has a field in it identifying RPTI Ltd, and
version fields of EP400 and CISV100 (Which I imagine
ID the card's revision etc.). I hacked the driver to
accept the right ID field, and to find the ether address,
but I have no other info about the card, so the other
magic numbers such as the register and shared
memory offsets may be wrong. Likely, in fact, since
the driver fails to work.

I do not have the PCMCIA specs (I am not sure they
would help me), so I am hoping someone else has
come across this card, and has some extra data they
can give me. I have also looked at the packet drivers
on the net, but I can't see any driver a PCMCIA card.
I have also looked at the PCMCIA Linux drivers, but
again they don't help much.

Thanks for any help,
