Hi,

I have drivers for Intel 21143 MAC Ethernet chips. STPC VEGA have truncated set of registers (and bits) of Intel 21143 chip, but they have differece in address offset (multiply 2 begining from some address). Did anybody know can I use drivers for Intel 21143 MAC for STPC VEGA board ?

Best regards.

do you really intend to use internal MAC?

their official document says that it has some misfunction.

and suggests using PCI ethernet controller.

they said that only on linux, it can be operational but withot any clue to use it properly. except only one that it is modified DEC tulip architecture.

well, i spent some time to use it but all in vain actually.

so i used 8139 and it works fine.
