We're writig a driver for it. It does not, afer all, contain a Lite-On LNE100TX etherchip inside. But it does have a MAC address from the LiteOn address space. But the chip inside is the Kawasaki LSI KL5KUSB100 (public data at: http://www.klsi.com/products/usb/index.html) A very nice guy at KLSI named Joel Silverman provided me with the programming manual and other specs, sample code for downloading the firmware (from the Windows 98 driver), the firmware, and permission to redistribute the firmware and download code. The firmware seems to be a little different than what's in the BSD code (http://www.freebsd.org/~wpaul/KLSI/4.0), but it's probably just a slightly newer version. Michael Zappe, a friend, co-worker and co-consiprator, decided to write a driver for it on a lark this afternoon after lunch. There will be a working driver soon. I'll post the address at which to download it when it gets to that point. Right now the firmware download tends to do screwy stuff to the hardware (NetGear tech support said, "yeah, you're hosed. Hope you kept the receipt. And thanks for writing a Linux driver!"). Thanks to Joel Silverman, Bill Paul and Michael Zappe! -Michael --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
