Ing. Telematica Lines: 20 Message-ID: <557lse$avj@sanson.dit.upm.es> NNTP-Posting-Host: ioda.diatel.upm.es Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=iso-8859-1 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit X-Newsreader: TIN [version 1.2 PL2] Hi. I finally got upset of not being able to use my office PC with FreeBSD, just because it had an Intel EtherExpress Pro/10 network card, and decided to write a device driver for it. The result is now available for use by anyone. :-) I've done the work under FreeBSD 2.1.5-RELEASE, and I don't know yet if it can be used as is on newer or older releases, but, if necessary, I will adapt it to 2.2 when time allows. I've placed the driver, and a small README file in: ftp://ftp.diatel.upm.es/incoming/jmrueda2/if_ex-961030.tar.gz The driver seems to work well, but I'd appretiate that other people test it, and that, if possible, some specialist guru in network device drivers have a look at the code, just in case I messed something up. I wrote the driver based on Intel's documentation, and also got some insight from various other FreeBSD network device drivers, Linux' eepro device driver, and the 4.4BSD book from Addison-Wesley.
