The current network code supports various brands of Ethernet
|
|
cards. Most drivers were written by Donald Becker
|
|
(becker@cesdis.gsfc.nasa.gov), who authored a family of
|
|
drivers for cards based on the National Semiconductor-8390 chip; these
|
|
have become known as the Becker Series Drivers. There are also
|
|
drivers for a couple of products from D-Link, among them the D-Link
|
|
pocket adaptor that allows you to access an Ethernet through a
|
|
parallel port. The driver for this was written by Bjørn Ekwall
|
|
(bj0rn@blox.se). The DEPCA driver was written by David
|
|
C.-Davies (davies@wanton.lkg.dec.com).
