8588.0. "Network Device Driver Interface?" by ADISSW::FERRARA () Fri Jan 24 1997 15:59

    
    
    I need to write/port a VMEbus FDDI Unix driver to support TCP/IP. 
    
    Is there a spec or information on the interfaces that a network
    driver must provide?
    
    Any help would be appreciated!

8588.1I thought we posted something in here about it.SMURF::GILLUMKirt GillumFri Jan 24 1997 16:3714
    
    Hey, have we got a document for you to review...
    
    It may not be too much help since it's not VME specific, but it covers
    the Digital UNIX LAN driver space pretty well.  We're looking for
    comments (any other LAN driver writers out there with time to review a
    hefty manual?).  It doesn't talk about synch or atm interfaces, just 
    Ethernet, Token Ring, and FDDI.
    
    Send me email ([email protected]), and I'll hook you up with the
    document writer.

    Yes, I am interested in reviewing the document.
    
    Where can I get a copy of it?
