[Etherboot-developers] USB NICs and Etherboot RFC

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

Hi

Being a sucker for punishment and the owner of an unsupported NIC, the
Pegasus based Linksys adapter, I keep giving some thought to what would
be required to implement USB support for Etherboot.

So far I have been merely brave enough download some of the USB Specs.
Any thoughts on what would be required, the practicality of porting the
Linux code, etc.  With the limited number of usb NICS (most are Pegasus
based I believe) would implementing a full usb subsystem make sense, or
would implementing the required code within the driver itself be more
desirable.

Any comments would be most welcome.

Regards
