Are you saying that there is a driver for it under AmigaOS? Hmmmm! In that case I can get it to work under Linux as well I suppose. Hmm, found the driver for it, it includes source. Good :-) Looks like the author of this driver had problems with it too (quoted from the Notes file): - The cards' 8-bit statistics registers appear to be unreadable using the A1200's PCMCIA slot. OK, with some hackery I suppose existing driver could be used then.

I noticed > drivers.tgz and drivers.bin, are they the same? Well, there is normally a driver for it, but not on the m68k platform. So I don't think you'll find it in those files either. > >In other words... just get an NE2000 clone ;-) > > > > > > > > Are such clones widely available e.g. for PC's? (read: reasonably priced) Yes, I picked up several cards for 5 Euro a piece on the second hand market. On this URL: http://www.g-mb.de/pcmcia_e.html you can find a list of supported cards.
