This is an example of us trying to talk to a vendor and being totally shut down. Not only did they license the PCI express and MAC portions, but they don't want to help us to support their products at all. No information, no people to talk to, nothing.

Appreciate your interest in developing an OpenBSD driver for the ET1310. The ET1310 GigE PHY is an Agere design and the Agere MAC was licensed from a 3rd party.

Have you had a chance to find the documentation yet? I can't seem to manage to get MII access to return non zero values. It appears that the ET1310 design was initially based around a National cassini+ design? Jonathan ------ End of Forwarded Message ----- End forwarded message -----
