System: NetBSD Server 1.3.1 NetBSD 1.3.1 (HEHOL) #14: Mon May 11 04:15:22 MEST 1998 thilo@Server:/usr/src/sys/arch/i386/compile/HEHOL i386
(I don't use the card with this machine, but compiled the kernel on this on.
 Well, it doesn't matter, does it? )


>Description:
The kernel doesn't find or enable RPTI EP401 (mine sold as "LinkPro PCMCIA Ethernet
TL-5200) ethernet NICs.

>How-To-Repeat:
Just boot...
>Fix:
add the following to (...)/sys/dev/pcmcia/if_ne_pcmcia.c:

    { "RPTI EP401",
      PCMCIA_MANUFACTURER_INVALID, PCMCIA_PRODUCT_INVALID,
      "RPTI","EP401 Ethernet NE2000 Compatible", 0,
      -1, { 0x00, 0x40, 0x95 } },

(perhaps not perfect, but made mine going).

I suppose there are billions of PCMCIA NE2000 clones around.
Adding support for them seems to be quite easy - even me was
able to do it!  Perhaps someone could write a "HowTo" about it...
