3c589d02.txt -- 3c589d PC network card driver for minix 2.0.4 vers. 0.2 Wangzhi posted 2004-10-09 This text file describes the package in 3c589d02.tar.Z. A copy of this text file is included in the tar archive. This is the second release of Wangzhi's 3c589d PC network card driver. It has been tested by Claudio Tantignone and some useful documentation has been added since the first release. In addition to files to add the ethernet card driver to Minix, the package also contains source and a Makefile for support programs to shutdown and re-enable the i82365 compatible PC Card (PCMCIA) interface. Unpack the 3c589d02.tar.Z file (I suggest doing this as bin in /usr/local/src) to create a 3c589d02 subdirectory. You will find a readme file with a step by step description of how to add this support to Minix. Basically, a number of files must be copied to the /usr/src/kernel directory, and several other files in /usr/include/minix and /usr/src/kernel must be edited. A new Minix system can then be compiled. Additionally, the programs upsock_0 and down can be compiled. I recommend placing the resulting binaries in /usr/local/bin. As the name upsock_0 implies, only PC Card slot 0 is supported. After compiling the new system, changes must be made to /etc/rc, /etc/inetd.conf, and the boot parameters. These are also described in the readme file. This file by ASW 2004-10-09
