Multimac - chipsets requiring support

Paul Smedley:
Hi All,

Intent of this thread is to discover what networking chipsets people are using - wired or wireless - in order to help potential developers focus their efforts on the chipsets which will benefit the most users.

Best way to report would be to include an excerpt of pci.exe output showing the details on the network device in question, in particular, PCI ID information.

Cheers,

Paul

This one should be supported by the E1000 driver. Perhaps the os/2 build needs to be updated to more recent linux source to add it...

Edit: yes it does - support has been added in newer releases of the linux source - I may try take a look at this over the weekend just for kicks.

Hi Paul

Wireless:
Dell 1510 Wireless-N (Broadcom BCM4322)
Ven: 14E4
Dev: 432B
SubSys: 000D1028

I believe the linux source code is here http://www.broadcom.com/docs/linux_sta/hybrid-v35-nodebug-pcoem-6_30_223_141.tar.gz


Wired:
Broadcom B57xx NetXtreme Gigabit Controller BCM5761e
Ven: 14E4
Dev: 1680
SubSys: 02631028

Of possible help in coding for this device http://www.broadcom.com/support/ethernet_nic/open_source.php

No, the above does not work with any of the B57.OS2 drivers available. The driver reports "Could not find any device. The driver failed to load". I suspect that the cause is the latest B57.OS2 driver dates from 2007 and the hardware dates from 2008.


Reasons for suggesting the above - apart from the fact that I have a laptop with the above devices  :-)

1] While Intel seem big in wireless nics Broadcom cannot be far behind as laptop specs often mention wireless lan fitted as either Intel or Broadcom - I guess it depends on what the laptop manufacturer has available at the time.

2] The Broadcom B57xx NetXtreme wired nics seem to be very common in laptops.
