DEC EtherWORKS Ethernet De4x5 cards
===================================
Originally, this driver was written for the Digital Equipment
Corporation series of EtherWORKS Ethernet cards:
DE425 TP/COAX EISA
DE434 TP PCI
DE435 TP/COAX/AUI PCI
DE450 TP/COAX/AUI PCI
DE500 10/100 PCI Fasternet
- DE425 TP/COAX EISA
- DE434 TP PCI
- DE435 TP/COAX/AUI PCI
- DE450 TP/COAX/AUI PCI
- DE500 10/100 PCI Fasternet
but it will now attempt to support all cards which conform to the
Digital Semiconductor SROM Specification. The driver currently
recognises the following chips:
DC21040 (no SROM)
DC21041[A]
DC21140[A]
DC21142
DC21143
- DC21040 (no SROM)
- DC21041[A]
- DC21140[A]
- DC21142
- DC21143
So far the driver is known to work with the following cards:
KINGSTON
Linksys
ZNYX342
SMC8432
SMC9332 (w/new SROM)
ZNYX31[45]
ZNYX346 10/100 4 port (can act as a 10/100 bridge!)

The driver has been tested on a relatively busy network using the DE425,
DE434, DE435 and DE500 cards and benchmarked with 'ttcp': it transferred
16M of data to a DECstation 5000/200 as follows:
