I've got a 10Mbps PCI Ethernet Adapter that Linux doesn't seem to want
to find. I've tried everything I can think of but can't get it working
(my old NE2000 worked though).
However, my drivers disk comes with SCO Unix drivers (with source code!)
and so I'm thinking that maybe I can adapt those to Linux. Is this
possible? If so, how?
I am a programmer, but I have little to no experience in hacking the
Linux kernel so I need all the help I can get. On the other hand, if
some one has done this before, I would really appreciate if they could
port this over for me.
I would attach the source code to this message, but there are a few
files, and two different versions (in the /sco/4x and /sco/5x
directories).
If anyone has any information, please contact me at i...@codex.nu or
pwe...@execulink.com (the former redirects to the latter).
Thanks,
Jeff

Jeff:
It would be a bit of a project since you would be blazing the trail, but.....
You might try downloading the LiS STREAMS package for Linux. Your SCO driver is
no doubt a DLPI interface STREAMS driver. In the LiS package is a driver called
./drivers/str/ip_strm_mod.c which will talk to a DLPI style STREAMS driver below
it and interface it up into standard Linux IP above.
On the way you might fix a bug or two in the IP/DLPI code and maybe produce a
mini how-to for the next person with the same problem.

Oh, yeah, duh.... I kind of forgot to mention: If you want to download LiS
STREAMS connect to http://www.gcom.com and take the "Linux" link off of the
front page. You can download the package with your browser with a click on the
download link.
