RE: [Etherboot-developers] sundance (D-Link DFE-550) status

[Timothy L. <tl...@ro...>]

Hi

Currently, the document on the sundance chip is all over my desk.  I started
working on it a number of months ago, but all told, I have done about five
hours work on it.  It currently recognizes the card, and I am now working on
the transmit and poll logic.

As it is summer, and I am working without air conditioning ;-(, I don't know
when I will finish it.  I hope to work on it some more over the next couple
of nights.  However, on Friday I go on vacation for two weeks.  During that
time, I will either finish it, or get nothing done (probably the latter).

Sorry I can't give you any more hope than that.

Regards

Tim
