Subject: [9fans] 100base ether card
Date: Thu, 2 Jul 1998 11:54:17 -0400 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <19980702155417.vY6GkoCTiIZIBTvKlZ0rUJYklaq8lLP-yE0o1sMEbsk@z> (raw)
We have used a mixture of 100BASE-X cards with Brazil using the
following chips:
3COM 3C595, 3905, 3C905B
Intel 82557/8 EtherExpress PRO/100B
Allied Telesyn 2560FX
Digital 21140 Fast EtherWORKS PCI 10/100 adapter (DE-500-X)
Accton EN1207-COM
Adaptec (Cogent) ANA-6910FX
SMC 9332
I also have, but untried as yet
3COM 3C572 (EISA)
Digital 21140 Netgear FA-310TX 10/100 PCI
Kingston ENET PCI 10/100
The Netgear costs ~$30, the Kingston ~$40.
All of the tried cards work fine.
Third-party cards based on the 21140 sometimes require more tweaking than
they should to get the link established and I'll be working on that in the
near future.
As to drivers, I gave copies of Brazil drivers for these cards to a couple
of people on the mailing list early this year (maybe even last year)
on the understanding that the backported Plan9 drivers would be made available,
but I haven't heard anything back.
