I'd like to learn this area of the operating system, by looking at an existing driver and re-implementing it. In particular, I'd like to muck with either the 3com driver (if_ep) or the SMC driver (if_ed) because those are the two ethernet cards I have. Also, I'd greatly appreciate it if someone could point me to specific programming documentation for either the 3com or the SMC (preferably the 3com, I have an ISA 509-combo), or any other documentation to aid me in learning the current source codes. Thanks in advance, -Ade -------------------------------------------------------------------- Inet: mbarkah@hemi.com - HEMISPHERE ONLINE - www: --------------------------------------------------------------------
