AROS NIC support for nForce chipset completed
« on: August 16, 2005, 02:22:47 PM »
Michal Schulz has finished a NIC driver for AROS to support the nForce, nForce2, nForce3 and nForce4 chipset. Thus, the Team AROS bounty 27 has been completed. The source code has been commited to SVN.

Bounty 27[url]

According to the author, support of even newer chipsets (up to nForce11 or nForce12) is a matter of adding proper DeviceIDs and setting few flags for the specific chipset (mostly which interrupts are provided by the hardware itself).

Michal has done yet another wonderful job of writing driver(s).  AROS is truely blessed to have him as a developer.

Next milestone, VIA NIC/SND drivers.  

Oh, if you feel like supporting AROS, Michal is interested in this bounty, but it needs far better funding.

Okay, it's just a very short news-item, but anyway it would have been nice to at least mention the source where it has been copied from - i.e. either amiga-news.de or AROS-Exec.org.

[Just by the way for the future - since, yes, I did survive this shameless plagiarism. ;-)]

awsome, I have NFORCE

YAY AROS!

A4000D, A3640 OC-36.3MHz, custom tower, Mediator A4000D. Diamond Banshee 16M, Indivision AGA 4000, GVP HC+8.

Mac Mini 1.5GHz, that might run MorphOS someday, when the fools who own it come to the realization that 30 minutes just isn\'t enough time to play with it enough to decide whether or not you like it enough to cough up $200.

 - Someone please design SOME kind of DIY accelerator for the A4000. :D -
