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.

22 Changes for porting to Minix 2.0.4 run on BOCHS

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..
29 Revision 1.1 2002/02/09 09:35:09 lsodgf0
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.
