[Qemu-devel] Another NIC Emulation...

Hi guys...

I have nearly ready a simulation for a 3Com 3C509B-TP PnP card.

So far, it has only been tested with NetBSD and FreeBSD... and in my
testing, appears to work better than the stock NE2000 driver.

This code requires the ISA-PnP support code I submitted a while back.

I'll try to make some nice patches...

If you could please:

1. Send me a PnP patch (I don't have it and I would like to put it into 
the patches directory in my web site)
2. Send this 3Com "card" as a patch with a README please?

Thanks,
Hetz

Files:

qemu-isapnp.patch      ISA-PnP Enumerator Simulation
qemu-3c509b.patch      3Com 3C509b-TP PnP Simulation


ISA-PnP Enumerator

This provides support for creating ISA-PnP compatible devices
within QEMU. Included are additions to hw/ne2000.c which
demonstrates the ease to convert an isa device to an isa-pnp device.

This patch adds "-pnp" to the command line


3Com 3C509b-TP PnP

This provides support for simulating a 3C509b-TP in PnP mode only.
Note that it does not support 3Com's own (deprecated) discovery method.
This device has been tested with FreeBSD 5 and NetBSD guests.

This patch adds "-3c509b" to the command line. "-pnp" is implied.
