This report is void of any relevant information and is therefore useless for a variety of reasons: - What is the make of the ethernet card? - Could we get the appropriate pciconf -vl output? - What does the dmesg output look like for the card? - What model laptop is this being used in? - What CPU? AMD64 or I386? Why should we port a driver for a NIC that appears to be almost working? It is way more efficient to make the relevant changes to get the card working in the present driver. This of course, requires that we know what devices you are trying to make interoperate...
