[Etherboot-developers] ADMTech an983b

[John H. <jh...@gm...>]

Hi All,

I've been trying to get etherboot going with an an983b from ADMTech, but to
no avail, the probe cannot find the device. While searching for a solution,
I found this post:

http://www.uwsg.iu.edu/hypermail/linux/net/0204.3/0002.html

To sum it up - the only real problem is that the nic identifies itself as
[vendor 0x1317, device 0x9511] and this is not listed in tulip_core.c in the
kernel code; simply adding the values to this file fixes the problem and
allows the NIC to be recognized.

I notice this hardware ID also does not exist in the etherboot code, which
I'm guessing is my problem, so my question is: would it be possible to
easily add this chip to the etherboot code? If so, which files would I
modify? I'm guessing NIC, Roms and tulip.c based on simply grepping, but any
tips would be appreciated...
