I tried the mailing list and didn't get much in the line of responses,
so here goes:
I would like to co-develop or alpha test an NE2000 driver. I have two
Linux machines equipped with NE2000 clones that are currently useless.
The only NE2000 info I could find at ftp sites was source code that
was insufficiently documented for me to gain much insight. I would
like mail from (a) someone that is working on a driver, (b) someone that
would like to help me with a driver that has some knowledge of programming
the NE2000, (c) someone that can point me to some free NE2000 information,
or (d) someone that can point me to some inexpensive (less than $50) but
useful NE2000 information.
Thanks in advance,
