Hello, I have been searching an ExpressCard Ethernet Adapter that is supported by RTnet. I have not found any. So it seems necessary *) to port a Linux driver to RTnet.
There seem to be 2 major Chipsets for ExpressCard Ethernet Adapters: 1. Marvell with the linux driver skge 2. Agere with the linux driver et131x Is anyone interested in porting one of these drivers (or another widely used chipset driver) to RTnet for me ? The driver should work reliably, at least with 100Mbit/s, and it should be integrated into the official rtnet tarball. The code should be good enough that it works and is accepted by the RTnet maintainers. And it should be completed within the next few weeks. I could spend 250 EUR. I know this is not very much. Is anyone willing to add some money ? How much would be needed ? Or is someone willing to work for the fame of having portet the first RTnet ExpressCard Ethernet driver (and take the money as an extra) ? Bye, Wolfgang *) Alternatives exist (ExpressCard to PC Card adapters, Notebooks with PC Card or even Desktop Computers), but a RTnet driver would be the prettier solution. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ExpressCard http://www.rts.uni-hannover.de/rtnet/lxr/source/Documentation/README.drvporting --- On Wed, 30 Apr 2008 20:59:29 +0200 Wolfgang Köbler <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Hello, > > On Wed, 30 Apr 2008 19:37:29 +0200 > Wolfgang Grandegger <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > Wolfgang Köbler wrote: > > > Is there any Expresscard Ethernet Network Interface Card that is > > > supported by RTnet ? > > The E1000 RTnet driver seems to support some PCI express cards. > > Have a look to e1000_hw.c for further details. > Yes, that could be some Intel Pro/1000 cards I have already seen in > Online-Shops. > > But I am looking for Cards that fit into a (modern) Notebook.
