Ok,
Since I am about to buy an ethernet card I will collate this info. (Unless
someone has done so already). I will list all the ethernet cards that I know of
- their models/aliases/manufacturer - and everybody else can tell me if they are
supported or not. email me directly rather than cluttering up the mailing list.
Here is a start (I will reformat it better later):
Atomwide
========
This is what I was thinking of buying...
> A5000-10b210BT A400 10base2+T Access+ Ethernet interface......
(Note: specify that you require a StrongARM-compatible ROM.)
Identifies as Ether3.
but they also do...
RiscPC Only:
> RiscPC-10b2. RiscPC/A7000 10base2 Access+ Ethernet card.......
> RiscPC-10bT. RiscPC/A7000 10baseT Access+ Ethernet card.......
Identifies as EtherB.
Atomwide: "We are about to start shipping a new 10base2+T card for the
RiscPC network slot, which will replace the above two items"
Atomwide also mentioned: "the new combi (EtherM) card."
