Elksnet - how far off is ethernet?

[Simon Wood]

Hi,
I'm having a little play with elksnet and Nano-X (which needs a few fixes).

I gather from the documentation that the network is run from an userland 
application and that I can fire up a SLIP link over one of the serial 
ports.

This may be sufficient at the moment, but I would really prefer to use 
an ethernet link.

Has anyone done any work with netcards?

Simon Wood.

Not ethernet, but I tried to get PLIP running some time ago, but there was
something with never getting my interrupt handler firing, no matter what I did. Then
I got frustrated, forgot all about it and lost the code in a re-install...

Which is quite normal if you consider that ELKS doesn't have PLIP
support :)

Hmm, now you misundertod. I was trying to *implement* PLIP into ELKS, not
get it running in userland.
