Title: New network driver completed for nVidia MCP61 Ethernet enables complete support
Post by: clusteruk on January 17, 2023, 02:36:59 AM
This driver created by Neil Cafferkey and paid for by Peter Membrey and
Steve Jones (iMica, Checkmate). This is to allow all AROS fans to have
access to a fully supported NVidia powered beast of a computer at low cost.
We hope you purchase a complete system from us with this link to our sales
page for a complete setup but also the model of the motherboard and a link
to buy one, ASUS M2N68-AM SE2.

Hi Steve, and congratulations to all involved in this effort.


I wonder however where is the driver you are talking about, and wether it is freely available or it's coming with your systems only.


thank you so much and regards

It's on Deadwood's latest test ISO: nvidianet.device

Thanks. Are the sources available on ABIv0 source tree? Or Contrib? I'd like to compare to some of the HIDD drivers to see how they are organized. I'm interested in writing some drivers mostly for USB floppy drives, USB CD-ROM drives, & USB Zip drives (Zip100, Zip250, Zip750).

I'm hoping that drivers are like libraries much like data types are small libraries. I've modified several datatypes & I've written a few of my own.  :)

Thanks for your hard work.

The driver source codes are currently available here:

https://github.com/deadw00d/AROS/tree/master/workbench/devs/networks/nvidianet

Once the next ABIv0 release is made, they are also going to be available in ABIv0 branch.
