I'm looking for a little help from someone who knows Realtek Ethernet chips - specifically, the one with vendor ID 0x10ec and device ID 0x8168, which the machine vendor says is an 8111F. NetBSD's re(4) driver works just fine on it; I'm trying to write bare-metal code to drive the chip. Packet reception works fine, but packet transmission does nothing at all as far as I can tell. I assume I've just missed some piece of setup somewhere, but I'm having trouble seeing what.
So far I've drawn a complete blank looking for hardware documentation; I've had to work based on open-source drivers, principally NetBSD's. I've got an inquiry in to Realtek, but past experiences with vendors make me not too optimistic about getting help from that quarter. Any pointers? /~\ The ASCII Mouse \ / Ribbon Campaign [email protected] X Against HTML [email protected] / \ Email! 7D C8 61 52 5D E7 2D 39 4E F1 31 3E E8 B3 27 4B
