It does seem like networking is something that people really want.
I think that we should at least try something. Preferably implementing a
cut down INET layer.

Well there seems to be a bit of interest, so I'll cobble a driver together
this weekend and see what I can come up with.

Just for the record, I'd rather see support for the 3c503 than ppp or
slip, but unfortunatly I can't say I have either the time or knowledge at
this point to be of any help, but if that changes in the near future I'll
do what I can.

I have a 3c501 and a 3c503 that I wouldn't mind testing with... I'd love
to see the support put in since this I'd like to eventually see an ELKS
box sitting on an existing network as a fully functional net machine.

Too bad I can't program to save my life or I'd really love to jump in and
help out myself.

I'd be interested in seeing it working since I have a setup which includes
a 3c503. I
run DOS using the cwnryr (?) packet drivers to copy stuff to the floppy to
move to
ELKS. For I downloaded some code I found a couple of weeks ago but haven't
had a chance
to look at it yet - I only started looking at ELKS a few weeks ago and my
wife thinks
I spend too much time using computers as it is!

Since I've mangled the 3c503 driver to bits, I could re-create that code
from scratch again if there was interest.  The main reason I didn't bother
was because people were more interested in plip/slip/ppp, than the 3c503,
even when I offered to mail cards to those who were interested in the
development.  From memory, the only response I got was someone who wanted
a card for his Linux box since he thought I was giving them away.

The arch/i86/drivers/net files were some test drivers David Murn was
working on. They are no longer included due to various reasons including
incompatable licenses. Currently teh only networking related files in the
kenrel are experimental.
