I have made a kernel containing the new EtherH driver available at

http://www.black-star.demon.co.uk/files/newehkern.gz

If you have no http access or have trouble accessing this file let me know
and I will e-mail the kernel to you.

The kernel support's pretty much the same devices as the voyager kernel
apart from the Cumana SCSI2 card and the EtherM NIC.

I have been trying to break this kernel for the past 3 days without
success so I hope it's stable enough for wider use. However I cannot make
any guarantees.

This kernel uses the NetBSD generic NE2000 support to drive the EtherH
card so the device reports itself at boot time to be ne0: NE2000 Ethernet.
This means you will need to modify your startup sequence to configure the
ne0 as the ethernet interface rather than eh0.

For 1.3ALPHA and newer this means copying or moving /etc/ifconfig.eh0 to
/etc/ifconfig.ne0. I suggest copying as it enables you to switch between
kernels with the ne0 device and kernels with the eh0 device at will.

If you have any problems then either report them to me and I will try to
sort them out.
