Ethernet drivers: SiS 900, Netgear FA311

[Tobias Burnus]

Hi,

I think those drivers have not yet been merged. Since I happend to have
those (and had problem to get them run with the default kernel) I'd like
to asked whether those can be included into the kernel. They are GNU
licensed. Seemingly the SiS updates the existing sis900 driver, the
FA311 is not yet supported by the kernel.

Not true, see natsemi.c (in 2.4.x at least).

natsemi did not work with 2.2.17 on a remote system I do work on, but
did work with the 2.4.0-included driver. Wonder if it'll be making it
into 2.2.x soon..

It is available for 2.2 from http://www.scyld.com/network/ ...  All I
did was port the Becker driver to 2.4.

If someone wants to port his driver into 2.2.latest, I'm sure people
will be happy..
