Nearly all the older (pre-100Mbit) tulip cards are different to the other older ones. The newer ones based on the 2114[0123] chips had a lot more in common and generally required less tweaks. Getting some random older 10Mbit card to work is somewhat a black art. > Maybe the guy that broke it...which would mean someone who modified it > since 2.2.8 came out. > > You know who you are....., but unfortunately the audit trail in the source > is useless since there is none. Audit trails do not belong in the source. That is what source code management systems are for: http://www.FreeBSD.org/cgi/cvsweb.cgi/src/sys/pci/if_de.c The majority of the changes were as a result of syncing up with the original auther and later on some cleanup. If you can find (specifically) what change broke it, I'd love to hear from you. I'd also like to know if a NetBSD kernel runs with it or not. > Dennis > At 06:28 PM 10/02/2000 -0400, you wrote: > >On Mon, 2 Oct 2000, Dennis wrote: > > > > >At 02:01 AM 10/01/2000 -0400, you wrote: > > >>On Sat, 30 Sep 2000, Dennis wrote: > > >> > > >> > > > >> >The saga continues. the de driver in 4.1 now doesnt properly detect the > > >> >media of original SMC BNC cards.
