Finally, after too many delays, I am pleased to announce the release of my driver for 3Com's 3cr990 family of network cards. This initial release is endian clean, tested on x86 and sparc64, and does - NAPI - Zerocopy Tx - TCP segmentation - Hardware VLAN accel It does *not* do IPSEC crypto offload as of yet. I have a version for the 2.4 series of kernels, but it is an ugly, ugly kludge, and would be shot if seen in public. I will be working on integrating the hardware with the IPSEC support in 2.5.x. There are a few issues with the firmware -- DMA to a 2 byte aligned address hangs the firmware, so we cannot easily align the IP header, and the firmware will always strip the VLAN tags on packet reception, regardless of our desires. I hope to work with 3Com to resolve these issues.

I couldn't have received a better going away present on my last day on the job. Enjoy!
