This driver is designed to work with PCI ethernet +cards which use the DECchip DC21x4x family. This driver hopefully +works with all of 1.2.x and 1.3.x kernels, but I tested only +with 1.2.13, 1.3.39, 1.3.49, 1.3.52, 1.3.57 and later. + +Hopefully, the de4x5.c driver will support all cards supported +by the tulip.c driver. However, the SMC's 9332dst card and some +cards do not work with the de4x5.c driver. So, if your card is +not a 9332dst, please try the de4x5.c driver first. + +Success List +============ + ++-------------------------------------+-----------+-------------+ +|vendor/card |chip |system | ++-------------------------------------+-----------+-------------+ +|SMC | | | +| EtherPower 10 PCI(8432T/8432BT) |21040/21041|Pentium | ++-------------------------------------+-----------+-------------+ +|SMC | | | +| EtherPower 10/100 PCI(9332DST) |21140 |Pentium/UDB | ++-------------------------------------+-----------+-------------+ +|DEC | | | +| EtherWorks 100/10 PCI(DE500-XA) |21140 |Pentium | ++-------------------------------------+-----------+-------------+ +|DEC | | | +| EtherWorks 10 PCI(DE450) |21041 |Pentium | ++-------------------------------------+-----------+-------------+ +|DEC | | | +| QSILVER's |21040 |UDB | ++-------------------------------------+-----------+-------------+ +|ZNYX | | | +| 312 etherarray |21040 |Pentium | ++-------------------------------------+-----------+-------------+ +|Allied Telesis | | | +| LA100PCI-T |21140 |Pentium/UDB | ++-------------------------------------+-----------+-------------+ +|Danpex ('Planet Japan' in Japan?) | | | +| EN-9400 |21040 |Pentium | ++-------------------------------------+-----------+-------------+ +|Cogent | | | +| EM110 |21140 |Pentium | ++-------------------------------------+-----------+-------------+ + +Pentium: PCI machine with Pentium CPU +UDB: Universal Desktop Box(aka Multia) with Alpha 21066 CPU + +Known bug(s) +============ +This driver's media detection is very simple and sometimes +it causes serious problem.
