If so, it may make sense to use that code. Looks like it. David Hinds (who maintains the Linux driver) just sent me the specs for the D-Link DL10019C chip used in (older?) revisions of this card (and some others). In the intro it says: DL10019C is a high performance single chip Ethernet controller ASIC. It is designed specially for the implementation of a 100M/10M Ethernet PCMCIA/ISA-PnP compatible Ethernet NIC. It contains a patented protocol circuit that handles the functions of IEEE 802.3 standard and a host interface circuit. All glue circuits are included into the chip. For 10M application, DL10019C can be connected to AT&T's T7213 DISC , NS's DP83910 SNI or AMD's Am7992 SIA directly, and all frontend transceivers which support MII (Media Independent Interface) such as NS's DP83840, MicroLinear's ML6692 TDK's 78Q2120, ICS's ICS1890 and Level-One's LXT970, can be connected to DL10019C for 100M implementation directly. Sadly, the information on the newer chip (DL10022) apparently comes from disassembling a DOS driver... /Mikko Mikko Työläjärvi_______________________________________mikko@rsasecurity.com RSA Security To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-mobile" in the body of the message
