The same problem arose few years ago: http://9fans.net/archive/2005/07/9 Has it been solved yet? Thanks! Lorenzo.

You can find the supported PC hardware here: http://www.plan9.bell-labs.com/wiki/plan9/Supported_PC_hardware/index.html additionally I have an IBM t43 and expect to write a driver over the next year (after USB ether gets fixed) its for a Broadcom BCM5751M. Perhaps it might have some similarities if you decide to write a driver for your own card. You might want to try using the new usb/ether interface for now -- thanks to Nemo. +=jt ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 2+ messages in thread
