- Does anyone have a device driver for an FDDI card for BSD on a
- 386/486 ? I can't seem to find one and perhaps someone else has
- solved this problem. I do have full BSD sources (and a BSD source
- license and an AT&T UNIX source license if those matter).
-
- If not that, might anyone have a suggestion on a vendor who is
- willing to let me have enough technical data on their hardware so that
- I can write my own device driver ? I can handle the writing of a device
- driver, but one has to know something about the device hardware in order
- to do that succesfully.
-
- I tried talking with Network Peripherals about getting data on their
- FDDI/EISA card yesterday, but NP doesn't appear to be comfortable with
- letting anyone else have enough information to write their own device
- driver. I slightly prefer hardware based on the National
- Semiconductor chipset, but will consider any hardware.
