Date: Fri, 16 Sep 1994 08:10:13 GMT Lines: 28 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.
