Network Card DataSheet

NTDEV
1

I want to develop a Network Miniport driver to experiment the development of
a Network Card driver on a PCI bus. Is it possible to get the information
about a specific card to see what the card is supporting ?

Thanks.

Look at the manufactures web site, or ask them for the data sheet.

You can study the e100bex DDK driver sample for the Intel PRO/100.

Beyond that you must either get information form the adapter or chipset
vendor.

Good luck,

Thomas,

Not all have them there but some do and yes, I have down loaded specs from
web sites, or from personal contact, starting with the support information
nearly always provided on the web page.

Intel supplies an open source software guide (the necessary registers to make a driver function) for their E100 family.
