It has come to my knowledge that there is an unreleased working driver for broadcom 4401 ethernet card. You can't imagine how useful could be for me If someone could tell me where to get it. If there's something missing, I'd love to help to get it finished. Cheers!! --- izaki ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 7+ messages in thread

Again, everybody talks about it, but I haven't seen it... the only broadcom driver I've seen is for a 57xx something series... cheers! -- izaki ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 7+ messages in thread

I'm somewhat surprised that a 4401 driver works on the 57XX, and I'm almost positive that the reverse cannot be true. (Especially on drivers that need firmware loaded). --Devon ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 7+ messages in thread

Hey Lorenzo, The details are as follows. There was talk of a 4401 driver -- ericvh said that jmk had a mostly working version -- on the mentor comments of your SoC application. The stuff Uriel posted there was for the 57xx ServerWorks chipset. I have documentation for all the 57xx chips, so I can help you with that implementation. As far as the 4401, I don't have docs, but I've perused other drivers. If you aren't interested in a 57xx driver, I'm sure I can get one done at some point. I do see that you were assigned a mentor for another project to which you applied. If you are accepted, do you have a preference for which project you work on? --Devon ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 7+ messages in thread

I want to work on several NIC drivers, 4401, 57xx, 43xx (Wireless) and some others... I'd also would like to see if it is possible to sync plan 9 drivers with the inferno ones (Uriel suggestion). It sounds interesting for me to get an interesting view of the two OSs. On the other hand, hardware support is really important. I'd love to put my two cents to help plan 9's hardware support, specially on something 9essential ;) like NICs. I've other plans for plan 9 too that suits my necessities, but for the moment, let's make it work ;) I really appreciate any kind of comments, suggestions, "pushing" or help. Cheers!
