This card type is referenced under the "link" section, but would I > also need to reference it under dev, or modify the line "ether netif" in > that section? no, you just need to add it in the link section. the dev section is for devices and some special magic turns "fu" in the device section into a request to compile devfu.c into devfu.8 and does what's required to link the device into devtab. the stuff in the link section is just called at boot time. addetherdevice is the hook to link controllers. which are then called back by the ethernet device when it's ready. the ether netif line declares a device devether that requires the netif support file. - erik
