Now I need to run out and buy some Olicom boards (the only ones I didn't get any of during my collection spat.) Any ideas on the IBM driver? I'm making a little progress on the TMS380 series driver (to the point where I actually understand what the data book is talking about and have code stubbed out and such.) I've got a number of TMS380 based devices but am curious to know the extent of this chipset's use. Proteon: TMS380 1st generation TMS380c16 TMS380c26 TMS380c30 Madge: TMS380c16 Thomas Conrad: TMS380c16 Compaq: TMS380c26 The TMS380 appears to be fairly popular though I've not yet found any boards based on the c25 or c27 chip. Versions of the TMS380 chipset exist that do ethernet and token-ring or just ethernet or just token-ring. So far I only have the token-ring databooks but will be pestering TI for the ethernet ones. I've found a number of ISA boards (8 bit, 16 bit and PNP), a few EISA boards, but so far no PCI boards. If anyone has any PCI token-ring boards that have any chip that has 'TMS380' or 'TI380' in the product number let me know. > oltr0: flags=8943<UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,PROMISC,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST> mtu 1558 > inet 10.0.0.1 netmask 0xffffff00 broadcast 10.0.0.255 > lladdr 00:00:83:a9:da:3c > Name Mtu Network Address Ipkts Ierrs Opkts Oerrs Coll > oltr0 1558 <Link> 00.00.83.a9.da.3c 85201 0 107232 0 0 > oltr0 1558 10/24 anatok 85201 0 107232 0 0 > > ftp> get kernel > 200 PORT command successful. > 150 Opening BINARY mode data connection for 'kernel' (8139817 bytes). > 226 Transfer complete. > 8139817 bytes received in 6.971 seconds (1140 Kbytes/s) > local: kernel remote: kernel > > I will be cleaning some things up and making a patch kit with instructions > on how to get the driver in a system.
