Problem: I have two Linksys EtherFast 10/100 LAN Cards that are not supported by any version of the tulip driver that I have been able to find. The board and chip are both are physically identified as Linsys EtherFast 10/100 LAN Card, Model No. LNE100TX, VERSION 4.1. It appears that Linksys has changed the chip vendor between version 2, which I believe is supported, and the version 4.1 card. I find from information obtained at scyld.com that the LNE100TX is supported with the chip vendor identified as Lite-On Communication Inc. and chip id c115. However as seen from the dump below the vendor and chip id have changed. 00:12.0 Ethernet controller: Bridgecom, Inc: Unknown device 0985 (rev 11) Subsystem: Bridgecom, Inc: Unknown device 0574 Control: I/O+ Mem+ BusMaster+ SpecCycle- MemWINV+ VGASnoop- ParErr- Stepping- SERR+ FastB2B- Status: Cap+ 66Mhz- UDF- FastB2B+ ParErr- DEVSEL=medium >TAbort- <TAbort- <MAbort- >SERR- <PERR- Latency: 255 min, 255 max, 64 set, cache line size 04 Interrupt: pin A routed to IRQ 11 Region 0: I/O ports at f800 Region 1: Memory at f0dffc00 (32-bit, non-prefetchable) Capabilities: [c0] Power Management version 2 Flags: PMEClk- AuxPwr- DSI- D1+ D2+ PME+ Status: D0 PME-Enable- DSel=0 DScale=0 PME- 00: 17 13 85 09 17 01 90 02 11 00 00 02 04 40 00 00 10: 01 f8 00 00 00 fc df f0 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 20: 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 02 02 00 00 17 13 74 05 30: 00 00 00 00 c0 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 0b 01 ff ff Is anyone aware of a patch to the tulip source that will recognize this card? If not, than can anyone offer guidence to me in generating and testing such a patch? From a brief look at the source, v0.92, I can see at least three additions to the code, in an enum, a struct and a table, that need to be made. However, I assume that other changes will be required since there is no reason to believe that the two chips are functonally idetntical. My knowledge of the details of ether card operation is virtually nil, Therefore, any help would be greatly accepted. I would like to have a working driver sometime before the release of kernel version 3.x.x.
