Atheros card driver
« on: March 08, 2013, 03:17:31 pm »
Hi,
I found in a russian site a new driver for etehrnet Atheros card. It is referred only to os/4.
Any further news about?
Anybody tried with os/2 or ecomstation?
Which problems to use it or rethinking the driver?

From what we can tell the NIC driver uses a API interface they put in the OS/4 kernel.
If it will work on the OS/2 kernel I don't know.
