Under GNU/Linux the driver is tulip. I tried replacing simply tulip.c.
GNU Mach then cross-compiles successfully, and detects the card at bootup.
However when running settrans to configure the network, it just hangs.
Wierd. I have a tulip and I had no problems at all. Maybe its the way
you're setting the translator?
Thanks, it's very helpful to know the tulip driver does work.
Double check with Neal's install guide.I did, those are the instructions I followed. But the translator just hangs. The --timeout option is not effective, and neither can I save the situation with screen, as the whole system is just hanging.
I did compile gnumach with a different version of tulip.c, though, as the original driver wouldn't detect my card.
Is it at all possible to try and patch up drivers this way? Should I
just wait for OSKit Mach?
My card came with Linux 2.2 drivers on a floppy (the source for actually which was nice) -- If you plan to hack I suggest you look at many different versions of the code to see what works and what doesn't.. newer version doesn't mean better.. ;-)

Which version of the driver are you using?
