Hello fellow Linuxers
I am happy to announce that the Commodore ETHER-16 PLUS COMBO (and by
implication the ETHER-16 PLUS) work with the standard Linux kernel ethernet
driver code. The card supports four operational modes one of which is WD Plus
mode (it also does NE1000, NE2000 and its own mode) and it works great. I
had tp move three jumpers to get it work, first to change its mode (see above)
another to change its IRQ from 3 to 5 and finally the jumper to switch from
twisted pair to cheapernet. After that I had fun with the networking support
code due to a nice "little" mistake in my SLS release. In the UK this card
is sold by NETLAND(UK) Limited and is sold by them as purely the "NETLAND
Combo", they don't mention Commodore in the advert in case people were
worried about getting an Amiga by mistake :-)
I may point out that I don't work for either Commodore or NETLAND, I'm just
chuffed to find a suitable card thats cheaper than the SMC Elite 16 in the UK.
Jonathan
