Anne Hutton posted this to -hackers on 21 March 1997: ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- The Applied Research Lab (ARL) of Washington University and the ATOMIC-2 Project at USC/ISI are pleased to announce the availability of a BSD device driver for the Adaptec 590x series of PCI ATM host adaptors (eg ANA-5940) Written by Chuck Cranor of Washington University's ARL (chuck@ccrc.wustl.edu), the "MIDWAY" ATM device driver originally supported Efficient Network's PCI ATM 155Mbps cards under FreeBSD, NetBSD, and OpenBSD. Working with Anne Hutton of USC/ISI, Chuck has recently added support for the Adaptec series of 155Mbps PCI ATM cards to the driver. The driver is currently in use at Washington University for several projects include the MARS video server project, the IP/ATM integration project, and the "QoS Guarantees Within Endsystems" project (see http://www.arl.wustl.edu/arl for details on these projects). USC/ISI is currently using the driver as part of their ATOMIC-2 project (http://www.isi.edu/atomic2/) for a PC-based ATM-ATOMIC gateway. The driver is also being used by researchers at Nokia, Sony, and Georgia Tech among other places. The driver is fully integrated into the NetBSD and OpenBSD source trees and can be obtained from those project's ftp servers. The FreeBSD version of the driver [partly contributed by Kenjiro Cho <kjc@csl.sony.co.jp>] can be obtained from ftp://dworkin.wustl.edu/dist/bsd/bsdatm1.4.tar.gz ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- I have no idea why this did not show up in your search. The Washington University projects are apparently making progress at a high rate of speed.
