Help needed with anti bsd ethernet card

1

Its good to see Haiku going from strength to strength, alas I have a bit of a show stopper!

I have the following network card :

lspci -s2:0 -Q -nn
02:00.0 Ethernet controller [0200]: Attansic Technology Corp. L1 Gigabit Ethernet Adapter [1969:1048] (rev b0)

Which I think is different to the attansic in my eeepc (but you have to wonder if they are similar enough :wink: )

anyhow any suggestions as to what I can do to get it working

I notice there does now-a-days seem to be some bsd support and I have read the network drivers are similar
http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=age&arch=i386&sektion=4

given just the software the cd installed in the haiku can bsd driver source be compiled into something that will
work?

Thanks in advance!

You could use the source code available to help make the driver, but it won’t work by just compiling the driver for Haiku. Feel free to port the driver though.

Reusing BSD sources is a brilliant idea, but in reality it requires a [bit|lot] of work. :frowning: If you have any programming experience you can look on already ported drivers and try to create the same “glue” wrappers on base of FreeBSD sources. Or you can just put the new ticket in the Haiku Trac(http://dev.haiku-os.org) in opposite case.

Haiku only has a driver for Attansic L2 (bsd code name “lii”).
http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=lii&sektion=4

You need Attansic L1 (bsd code name “age”).

Like Siarzhuk said you should start a new ticket.

Quick port of AGE FreeBSD driver (Attanstic/Atheros L1 Gigabit Ethernet 10/100/1000) for Haiku - http://slil.ru/27986510
Try it.
I can’t test this driver because haven’t hardware.
If driver not worked - mail me 3dEyes (at) gmail.com

Nice that you’re helping out here.
I can’t test it either, but I do strongly recommend you create a ticket for your effort and attach this file, so it gains more visibility and won’t get forgotten. http://dev.haiku-os.org

No troubles! It is already in the safe place: http://dev.haiku-os.org/changeset/33154 :wink:
