I have a candidate hardware with a Realtek RTL8125 2.5Gb Ethernet Controller PCI-E that is, generally, bundled with the 8169 and al. family.
Realtek publish drivers for various systems, so I retrieved the code for FreeBSD to give it a look and try to add this new card to the (9front) pc/ether8169.c driver: https://www.realtek.com/Download/List?cate_id=584 But there are discrepancies between the 9front driver and the Realtek FreeBSD modified one. For example, when retrieving the macver, the Plan9 driver uses a mask of: HwveridMASK = 0x7C800000 while the Realtek driver uses 0xFC800000 Since I'm discovering the code and this kind of task (adding a new device to a driver), I may not grasp at first some technical reason for doing so. Hence the question: is the mask different on purpose? -- Thierry Laronde <tlaronde +AT+ kergis +dot+ com> http://www.kergis.com/ http://kertex.kergis.com/ Key fingerprint = 0FF7 E906 FBAF FE95 FD89 250D 52B1 AE95 6006 F40C ------------------------------------------ 9fans: 9fans Permalink: https://9fans.topicbox.com/groups/9fans/T832e366730c74bfa-M12ddef863bae40e85be76599 Delivery options: https://9fans.topicbox.com/groups/9fans/subscription
