See http://www.TransSys.COM/TransSys/NetBSD/znet.html for the NetBSD driver. Note this is pretty old, and probably doesn't drop into anyone's kernel these days. This was for a Zenith Z-Note laptop (with a 486SL CPU!). It worked quite well, and I recall running tcpdump fairly effectively. I've started porting it to FreeBSD a couple of times, but I fear the code is cursed; each time I started converting the driver, some horrible disaster would befall my system, and the disk with the code in progress would die a horrible death. You have been warned :-) I know that I have the Intel databook for this part *somewhere*, but I haven't seen it since I moved a year and a half ago. I think you'll get quite a head starting with the NetBSD driver, though. The driver is a little grotty in the sense that it's an 82593 driver for the Zenith laptop and it needs to do some rather rude DMA controller setup because of the way the 82593 works. Take a look at the code; you'll see. louie To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-hackers" in the body of the message
