I have one here..
(and all the specs)
the code changes needed to thte lnc driver are:
1/ new PCI ID :-)
2/ BSD equivalent of the following linux code:
case 0x2626:
chipname = "PCnet/Home 79C978";
fdx = 1;
/*
* This is based on specs published at www.amd.com. This section
* assumes that a card with a 79C978 wants to go into 1Mb HomePNA
* mode. The 79C978 can also go into standard ethernet, and there
* probably should be some sort of module option to select the
* mode by which the card should operate
*/
/* switch to home wiring mode */
media = a->read_bcr (ioaddr, 49);
if (pcnet32_debug > 2)
printk("pcnet32: pcnet32 media value %#x.\n", media);
media &= ~3;
media |= 1;
if (pcnet32_debug > 2)
printk("pcnet32: pcnet32 media reset to %#x.\n", media);
a->write_bcr (ioaddr, 49, media);
break;
I have alrady added the HomePNA media type to the if_media.h list
so all I need is to add this code..
(unless you beat me to it :-)
