Hello
I've updated William S. Morgart's work on nVidia nForce ethernet support
so that it builds on NetBSD-current and support the nForce 430.
The original work can be obtained here:
http://www.morgart.com/NetBSD/nVidia/nvnet/=20
It's a wrapper against a binary driver provided by nVidia.
And here is my patch for NetBSD-current and nForce 430 support:
http://hcpnet.free.fr/nforce430eth.diff
It would be nice to have this integrated more tightly in NetBSD. Given
that the license prohibits reverse engineering the binary driver, I
guess it cannot be included in the NetBSD kernel like the ath binary
driver was. Could it be integrated in pkgsrc?
