- 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,
-
