Have you tried the ep# device drivers...these should have been setup
when you installed NetBSD, if you did it across a network or ftp.
ALso the ep# drivers will only configure at install time if you have a
specific ethernet card { see the INSTALL doc for the list } I
initially tried the ftp install with a Inter EtherExpress Pro 10 but
this wasn't recognised and I'm now using a 3Com Etherlink III PnP
3C509b-TPO
Hope this helps....
Regards
Calum

Hello:
We are looking for an enthernet device driver (fast or giga ethernet on
PCI bus) which can run on the NetBSD/Intel-PC almost independent of, or
with little dependence on the kernel and the OS in general (i.e. memory
management, ...). We are looking for device driver which can work in a
simple environment like embeded systems. The reason for that is to try
achieve maximum performance for data communications and latency.
Does anyone have or know where to get the source code for such device
driver. Source code will be much appreciated.
Many Thanks.
Hany
