X-Mailer: Mozilla 3.01Gold (Win95; I) MIME-Version: 1.0 To: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org, freebsd-hardware@freebsd.org Subject: Realtek 8129 Fast Ethernet Card Support? Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Sender: owner-freebsd-hardware@freebsd.org X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk /* This message is cross posted to freebsd-questions and freebsd-hardware. */ There is a Fast Ethernet Card based on Realtek 8129 Chip available on the market. It's inexpensive, about $30 to $40 per unit. Is there any hints about how to make it work with FreeBSD? I have the DOS packet driver source code for this card. However, I know nothing about writing network device driver for UNIX systems. If anyone is interested in developing driver for this card, I can provide the DOS driver source code. The source code comes with a GNU GPL license. Please reply to my e-mail address (jasonl@xinetron.com) since I am not on the mail lists. Thanks, Jason -- --------------------- Jason Liao ---------------------
