>ethernet) ??
I'm working on the driver for the HP 100VG boards right now. The driver
should support both ISA and PCI -- the EISA support will likely exist but be
untested.
The HP boards use the HP/AT&T MD01/MD11 chips. The actual number on the
main chip is just "100VG". Is this the same chip as is used on the Compex
board?
>Are there any 100 Mb ethernet drivers available ?
Both the Tulip (DEC 21140 as used by SMC and others) and Vortex (3Com 3c595)
driver exist and work well for me. I plan on writing a driver for the
NatSemi 100baseTx ISA (!) board after the 100VG driver is stable.
