Thijs,
Isn't this card compatable with the RL8139 driver with a small patch?
I'm sure I've seen it mentioned somewhere..., if I uncover it again
I'll post you the URL...
But it does raise the question - is OpenBeos simply concerned with
building the components of BeOS or providing the drivers as well? Will
the few drivers already written with it? Are Net_server/BONE and the
OepnBeOS replacement too different?
Regards,
Matt (M)
