Hi all,
I'm quite pleased to have got my CNet CN40BC 10baseT/10base2 PCMCIA =
Ethernet card going on my A1200 under NetBSD 1.5.2 today. Following =
Jukka Andberg's lead, I just went in and edited the files =
"if_ne_pcmcia.c" and "pcmciadevs" in the /sys/dev/pcmcia directory. =
Here are the diffs:
if_ne_pcmcia.c:
<<<<
101a102,106
> { PCMCIA_STR_CNET_CN40BC,
> PCMCIA_VENDOR_INVALID, PCMCIA_PRODUCT_INVALID,
> PCMCIA_CIS_CNET_CN40BC,
> 0, -1, { 0x00, 0x80, 0xad } },
>
>>>>
pcmciadevs:
<<<<
74a75
> vendor CNET 0x80ad CNet Technology Inc.
82a84
>
306a309
> product CNET CN40BC { "CNet", "CN40BC&spEthernet", "D", =
"NE2000" } CNet CN40BC

Looks like you also have to remake the PCMCIA device list headers from =
the "pcmciadevs" source file after you apply the changes, by executing =
the following in the /sys/dev/pcmcia dir:
# make -f Makefile.pcmciadevs
Here's what dmesg has to say about it:
<<<<
pccard0 at mainbus0
pcmcia0 at pccard0
Unknown kind of PCMCIA memory (amiga/dev/pccard.c)
pcmcia0: CIS version PCMCIA 2.0 or 2.1

pcmcia0: Manufacturer code 0xffffffff, product 0xffffffff
pcmcia0: function 0: network adapter, ccr addr 3f8 mask 3

And here are the relevant kernel options I used:
<<<<
options PCMCIAVERBOSE # Verbose PCMCIA messages
pccard0 at mainbus0
pcmcia* at pccard0
ne* at pcmcia? function ? # NE2000-compatible =
Ethernet
>>>>
Seems to work pretty nicely...xfer rates of ~830 kB/s with FTP, ~730 =
kB/s using NFS (and this is partly limited by my hard disk speed).
