Ok here's a really small patch that gets it to attach to the ep0
driver. There's a few problems. First, is that if you try ifconfig ep0
media or mediaopt anything you get:
ifconfig: SIOCGIFMEDIA: Invalid argument
Second is that you get generally around 1.3ms ping time to computers that
are on the same LAN as you. Which is generally .4ms slower than I notice
on a regular desktop. This may be because of my laptop being a 486 or a
million other reasons, but .4ms isn't really much to complain about.
One other question I has is if the ep0 supports 100baseTX because this
OfficeConnect card is 10/100. If the ep0 dosen't do it it'll have to get
hacked into some other driver.
This one line patch is all it took to get the card to work. I found the
epb->prod_id of this card by using a simple printf :)
