Does anyone know if there is a new beta Net.ether82557 driver out that may
work with 82559ER?

The Net.ether82557 work with the older Intel 82559 ethernet chipset, but it
does not work with the new one (82559)!
Is there a plan to update Net.ether82557 to work with 82559ER?

I would be grateful for any information on this matter.

Thanks

I am loading QNX 4.25D on a Jumptec MOPScd6 PC/104+
SBC, which uses the Intel 82559ER. nettrap suggests:

Net &
Net.ether82557 -I0 -l1 &
netmap -f

Manually starting Net goes OK, but if I enter the line
to start the 82557 driver Net kaks on me.

Could you also send me a copy of the latest 82557 driver
to try? (And, are you aware of anything else I should be
setting up to get Net running when using the H/W combo?)
