@Paolo

Thanks  :)

@Jeff

Is this only a problem with AROS One? Does iUSB boot work with e.g. Icaros 2.2.8?

I'm guessing the problem is the Southbridge chipset - which ICH is it? I'm almost sure I'd have a matching one to test.

Hi,

The DVD version of AROS One and Icaros work. Icaros DVD installed to USB works.
Just noticed Aros One did not burn correctly to DVD so have redone and still works the same, trident sound whilst usb plugged in but not showing on desktop

If it works OK with Icaros then I suppose it must be a regression in the AROS USB drivers rather than any problem with your laptop's firmware or anything like that.

I tested all my PCs (4) and with AROS One x86 the USB ports work fine, AROS One 1.6 is the most updated version that includes the new Core by deadwood.

If you have more than one USB port on your PC, try them all, USB ports on PCs can differ from each other.

Hi,

I'm dipping my toes in AROS development again, and I've written a new network driver, for the Broadcom 44xx chipset. I'm going to try to attach a test release here (x86 ABIv0).

I know this isn't the most common Ethernet chipset out there and is pretty old, but if you have the right hardware, please give it a try and report how it worked.

Hi Neil,

How complicated would it be to adapt this drivert to work with Broadcom 43xx devices? In particular the 4312?
