Re: [Qemu-devel] [patch] More PCI ethernet emulations

[Stefan Weil <weil@mail.berlios.de>]

Good question. I stumbled about this, too, when I looked
at the code how I could apply your patch. Some months
had past since I wrote it :-)

The code writes to a serial EEPROM, so the 16 bits are
sent using only a clock and a single data bit. The
EEPROM emulation then takes the single bits and puts
them together.

The function gets a byte which contains clock, data and
two other significant bits, and 4 bits which are always 0.

When called with a word, only one byte is needed.
Maybe it is the wrong one - if you work with different
endianess.

I'l have a look at the other problems next weekend.
