Hi, I found some earlier discussion on support for Winbond chipset based cards (some Asuscom/A-LINK models, Telewell, others), and that support was planned for some future release. This is good, as the W6692 based cards are cheap and their availability is excellent. I need to use several (!) PCI cards per machine, and I found that either of the PCI models currently supported by i4b are not directly available from here. I'd rather deal with a local supplier for guarantee purposes... Alas, I decided to experiment and spent a few hours this weekend writing an "IPAC-emulator" -- a simple driver for the W6692 whose read/write_register routines emulate the Siemens chips' registers so that no modification to the rest of isic code would be necessary. The driver sort-of works; D channel stuff works without a hitch, B channel output seems to work, but B channel input does not (a single frame of 0x2a bytes gets received when attempting an rbch connection with ppp). Doh. What is the state and schedule of the "real" Winbond support? I would be willing to contribute time & effort & be able to test with various kinds of hardware (uP, SMP, various cards, a couple of different NTs). Also, has anyone else done their own experimental drivers for the chipset such as mine (since mine *almost* works, I would be interested in seeing a reference implementation and perhaps getting mine to work, too)?
