[Etherboot-developers] tg3 progress...

[<ebi...@ln...>]

Someday I want to do a driver from scratch but I until then I get
to strip down linux drivers and see how small they can go.

On the broadcom gigabit driver the tg3 progress is being made.

I have done a quick conversion and the driver initialization code
appears to be working in etherboot.  I have yet to implement transmit
and receive functions, and there is still a lot of code to strip off
but progress is being made.

The history of the source appears to be:
>From a 10000 line broadcom driver to a 7000 line linux driver.
>From a 7000 line linux driver to a 3900 line etherboot driver.

And I haven't really started cutting yet.  I wonder how small it
will get tomorrow after I do some more serious cutting.
