6/28 Say someone gave me a mystery ethernet card with no info on it, no docs, and no drivers but I want to make use of it. The only thing I can find out about it is this /proc/pci entry: Ethernet controller: Macronix MX98715 / MX98725 (rev 32). and a MAC address 0080C6F7EF3F Is there a way to find out compatible popular drivers for this card? \_ http://www.macronix.com/www/www2/P_NETWK.nsf/27d04aa22a9c609ac82566710027509c/7403de8147db18374825674000350d47?OpenDocument And obviously, http://www.macronix.com for general info. -ax \_ http://www.sohoware.com \_ http://standards.ieee.org/regauth/oui/index.html will give you the vendor of the card. If it's generic, the NE2000 driver will probably work. -tom [the below was saved from my anti-censorship motd archives. -not ax] \_ http://www.macronix.com/www/www2/P_NETWK.nsf/27d04aa22a9c609ac82566710027509c/7403de8147db18374825674000350d47?OpenDocument And obviously, http://www.macronix.com for general info. -ax \_ stick it into a win98 machine and pray it doesn't load up Bill Gates drivers < |
