It took me longer than expected to get the documentation from At-Lan-Tec, and the documentation turned out to be a assembly code packet driver. I'm about 2/3 (rough estimate) of the way through understanding the device. It would have been done long before now, but I keep getting distracted by writing drivers for boards with better documentation (although with Intel parts, "better documentation" is strictly relative). Right now my "todo" queue is EtherExpress, 3c507 Very complicated. I have early alpha versions that need to be debugged. At-Lan-Tec, Z-Note I've written the probe part of the Z-Note driver, and tiny bits of the At-Lan-Tec driver. AT1700 Maybe... After writing these drivers I'll probably be spending all of my free time with code maintenance and answering questions -- that already consumes a significant portion of my Linux hacking time. -- Donald Becker becker@super.org IDA Supercomputing Research Center 17100 Science Drive, Bowie MD 20715 301-805-7482 ------------------------------ ** FOR YOUR REFERENCE ** The service address, to which questions about the list itself and requests to be added to or deleted from it should be directed, is: Internet: Linux-Development-Request@NEWS-DIGESTS.MIT.EDU You can send mail to the entire list (and comp.os.linux.development) via: Internet: Linux-Development@NEWS-DIGESTS.MIT.EDU Linux may be obtained via one of these FTP sites: nic.funet.fi pub/OS/Linux tsx-11.mit.edu pub/linux sunsite.unc.edu pub/Linux End of Linux-Development Digest ******************************
