rtl81x9.device: AmigaOS4 SANA-II device for Realtek 8139/8169

Date 2007/1/16 17:30:00 | Topic: Software News

To gain some more attention and hopefully some more people to test the device *and* report their findings, i decided to make a news item this time:



I've uploaded the new version 0.28 of my rtl81x9.device to os4depot.
It's a SANA-II ethernet device for AmigaOS4 and any network card based on 8139(A/B/C/D) or 8169 chips.

Everyone out there with a Realtek 8139 (100Mbit) or 8169 (1000Mbit) card spare please give it a spin. There are some problems left, which I can't track down on my own but simply need input of more people than myself.

FYI here some speed figures between my A1 and my Linux-Box.

You may notice the bad speeds for the 8169. Well, thats exactly one of the problems I can't track down only with my own card and A1 as test case.

Have fun!
