it's an old WD8013, probably pulled from a telebit netblazer... I use
one in my firewall/masq/router box.
There are two versions of the board, one with jumpers for everything,
and one with a jumper for the IRQ, and DIPs for everything else. The
following are excerpts from a friend of mine (Joey Pruett) who has dealt
with more than his fare share of Telebit equipment. ;)
* jumpered version:
"i'm not sure of the numbering of the jumpers, but if you go from left to
right while holding the board in the canonical direction, then it should
be like this:"
w1-8 240
w1-7 300
w1-6 280
w2-3 10
w2-2 11
w2-1 15
* DIP version:
switch 1: (1 == on, 0 == off)
240/d0000 10111001
300/d0000 11101001
280/d0000 11011001
(The last four bits control the shared memory interface with the default
at d0000-d4000. I haven't personally fiddled with this to figure out
how it changes depending on settings.)
w1 is irq:
w1-4 10
w1-3 11
w1-1 15
The standard settings for these boards in a NetBlazer (in case you're
curious) are:
en0 240 10
en1 300 11
en2 280 15
It looks like this board is supported under NetBSD as we0, at 280/d0000
IRQ 9... good luck.
