I am trying to design a single-board system that will run NetBSD, but
am running into some chips I'm not familiar with.
Does NetBSD currently support (or will it soon support) the AMD
AM79C970AVC ethernet controller? I am not sure if this falls into the
categories listed in the i386/INSTALL for 1.3.2:
AMD LANCE and PCnet-based ISA Ethernet adapters [*], including:
Novell NE1500T
Novell NE2100
Kingston 21xx
AMD PCnet-based PCI Ethernet adapters, including:
Addtron AE-350
BOCALANcard/PCI
SVEC FD0455
X/Lan Add-On Adapter
IBM #13H9237 PCI Ethernet Adapter
Does NetBSD currently support (or will it soon support) either the
Adaptec AIC-78600 or AIC-7880P SCSI controllers? I'm not sure if this
chip is used on any of the listed boards:
Adaptec AHA-154xA, -B, -C, and -CF
Adaptec AHA-174x
Adaptec AIC-6260 and AIC-6360 based boards, including
the Adaptec AHA-152x, Adaptec AHA-1460 (PCMCIA),
and the SoundBlaster SCSI host adapter. (Note
that you cannot boot from these boards if they
do not have a boot ROM; only the AHA-152x and
motherboards using this chip are likely to be
bootable, consequently.)
Adaptec AHA-2x4x[U][W] cards and some onboard PCI designs
using the AIC78X0 chip.
Adaptec AHA-3940[U][W] cards [b]
Thanks for your help.
Cheers,
Brook
