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
If your 8390-based ethercard isn't on this list please send me email
and, if possible, documentation and an evaluation board.
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.
