[Etherboot-developers] Etherboot has eepro100.c for 82559....?

[atul s. <atu...@re...>]

Yah .. i found a missing call to virt_to_bus for passing the 
address of txfd ..but even after adding that my status is same.

just few momemts back i noticed i am using a 82559 card
while etherboot eepro100 drives only 82557 card.

i know about few change in char config_cmd [22] and in TxFD and 
RxFD structure has taken plave between 82557 and 82559 cards.

anywy does any body know it any vrsion of etherboot has the scaled 
down version of Donald Becker's 82559 driver.

if yes pls. let me know..

Best Regards,
