I haven't written an ethernet driver, but if were to do one I'd start with a driver such as if_ep.c and if_vx.c for an example and then track down the CRYNWR HP 100VG driver to figure out what it does. There is support for HP Lan+ in if_ed.c and this might also help. I'm assuming specs for the card are not easy to obtain. Regards, Mike
