Re: lance.c @ 100Mbit

Thanks to all who pointed out the pcnet32.c driver!  (And quickly, too. 
Perhaps one day I'll learn to do a "grep -i 79C973 drivers/net/*"
first.  *sigh*)

Now to see if I can get it to work on an ARM-based system...    gotta
love lack of cache-coherance.  ;)  (dma_cache_inv, etc.)  I'm open to
suggestions on that as well.  :)

Thanks again!

lance.c @ 100Mbit

[Eli Carter]

Quick question:  has anyone used the lance.c driver for a 100BaseT
network PCI device?  If so, what successes/failures did you run into?

(I'm working with an Am79C973 chip.)

TIA,

I'd recommend the pcnet32.c driver for that chip, instead.  I was running
it for a little over a year at 100Mbps with no serious trouble.  This was
under Linux/PPC, so there were some endian-ness problems at first but it's
clean now.

Sure. It's the pcnet32.c file (not lance from which it came). It works
fine in an embedded system and I'm currently adding some stuff to
write/rewrite the SEEPROM which contains the IEEE address plus some
stuff to init it upon reset.

Never used lance.c for 100BaseT (can it do that?). I've used the pcnet32.c
driver, however.

In my case, Am79C971. Works great for me, under both 2.2 and 2.4. (I don't
have any SMP systems, FWIW.)
