[Etherboot-developers] New eepro100 variant

[Georg B. <Geo...@po...>]

Hi,

I tried to etherboot a laptop with an integrated LAN adaptor. It works fine 
under recent linux kernels (tried 2.2.22 and 2.4.19). According to lspci, 
it is the "82801CAM (ICH3) Chipset Ethernet Controller".
The attached patch adds the device id to etherboot 5.1.2 (5.0.7 did not 
work).

The problem now is that it only works if I use the whereami() routine in 
eepro100.c, otherwise etherboot restarts after downloading the 
linux-kernel-image. So I guess there are some timimg problems. Maybe some 
eepro100 expert can comment on this?

BTW, I had to apply the patch from Miles Nordin to get it to work.
