Description

Hi all
I would like to try the network test
but I think that Jnode doesn't recognize my eth card

JNode /> device
I see in tje list about network just loopback, not a eth-pci
So I think I cant to do the test, have I right?

Bad news and good news

Bad news: there is no JNode driver for BCM440x

Good news: the source code for a Linux driver is available, so it should be possible to work out how to write a JNode driver.

If your network card is not recognized by JNode that means it is not supported or it is supported but its device identifier is missing from the plugin descriptor of the driver.
You can use the lspci command under Linux to find out the type of your network card. Then check the JNode network card drivers to see if they support it.
If yes, then you can try changin the plugin descriptor of the driver by adding a new identifier.
Otherwise writting a JNode driver for your network card appears to be the only real answer to the problem.
