[parisc-linux] EISA 100 Base-T Ethernet card drivers

[Steve.Grady]

Hi,

Are there drivers available for EISA 100 Base-T cards such are the HP
A4308A.
If there are what is the driver called and is there anything I need to know
in
getting it to work on my D370.

Thanks in advance,

this chip is the 82556, which is apparently AKA the "EtherExpress PRO/100
Smart".  I don't know what's so smart about it, but the eepro100 driver
doesn't claim to support it.  I think you're out of luck.

i don't know.  it's worth trying them.

Wouldn't it be worth it putting together a small list (or even an active
web page) of working devices of any kind on HP-PA hardware?
Or maybe just limited to (E)ISA and pci cards or such?

ESIEE folks maintain a page for systems:
	http://pateam.esiee.fr/list.html

Please model after that example and send it to them.
They might add it to that page. I don't know if they want to maintain
something like that and I think they have enough to do already.
A problem with maintaining this is even if a PCI card works on B180
doesn't mean it will work on C3000 or A500.

In general, I expect hppa-linux to support the same cards as sparc64/
mips64/powerpc/alpha ports.  I would include "ia64" but itanic IO and
HP ZX1 IO are like comparing x86 IO and parisc IO subsystems (HW).

Best place would be the already available hardware database...
Is there already a hook to that?

Or on the other hand, does HP have such a list for devices in hp-ux? I guess
that devices that work on i386 architectures in linux and on pa-risc
architectures in HP-UX (hence hardware does not bite and driver sources are
available) should be usable.

I have heard only random rumours and one thingj driving me to Linux is
that HP-UX doesn't support really any cards that might be available to
me. What I'd like to see is a list of "reported working" cards and
drivers. That would ofcourse be nice on other architectures as well.
