[9fans] Is DEC21040 chipset for nw cards supported in PLan 9?

[9fans] Is DEC21040 chipset for nw cards supported in PLan 9?

[Milan Zimmermann]

Network cards based on the DEC 21114x chipset are listed as supported. I
wonder if anyone knows whether DEC21040 is known to work as well. 

Thanks

(I am considering getting DLINK cards plus hub - the cards use DL10030
which is  DEC21040 according to a Linux howto)

It will not work 'out of the box'. The changes would not be many or hard
but we've never had a 21040 here to encourage us to do it.

I don't think so.  The release version supports 21143 and 21140.  If
you check the archives, someone got a PNIC-II working with a simple
modification to the PCI scan routine, since it is so compatible with a
Tulip.
