The file has the = following comment at the top: /* * Proteon VII Local Net Interface Driver=20 * (adapted from Noel Chiappa's V6 driver and ACC driver by Rob Gurwitz, = BBN) * * NB. Make sure definition of VII_CONF is correct for configuration of = ring, * i.e., VII_HEN for use with wire center, VII_STE for use without. */ So yes, they indeed took one you wrote for the V6 machine and adapted = it.
