Anything I should look at? For porting ns820.c to 2.4? Compare Donald Becker's latest *.c with the 2.4.6 kernel's drivers/net/*.c. Several of the 2.4 drivers are straightforward ports of the scyld.com drivers. epic100.c would probably be a good comparison to start with. If you get something working in 2.4, please do send me a patch so that others can benefit.
