RedditSimple NE2000 Compatible Driver
-
Hey guys I am new to OS development, I created a simple kernel with keyboard input I am looking to write a driver for the network card I am testing my work on vmware, and I want the driver to compatible with NE2000 standard, The driver must be as simple as possible I just want to know how to reset the network controller and how to send data (not frames) and receive data, I am not currently concerned with the protocols just the bare basics please, thanks in advance.
Hello, look at http://wiki.kolibrios.org/wiki/Writing_ ... _KolibriOS and other articles from http://wiki.kolibrios.org/wiki/Development
The driver in kolibrios for ne2000 is implemented in rtl8029.asm
For more info about ne2k itself, please see http://wiki.osdev.org/Ne2000 (and the pdf's on this page: http://wiki.osdev.org/DP8390)
As for the protocols: I recommend you read the 'TCP/IP illustrated' books.

excuse me but what is the syntax of these assembly files?
the assembler used is flat assembler (http://www.flatassembler.net)

Tanks for your time I have one more question please. What do I need to get my network controller driver up and running? Do I need to do something about DMA controller PCI bus or other things? Because I want to get it running as quickly as possible.
What you need to do is read the documentation, sorry, there is no quicker way.Mohsen35 wrote:Tanks for your time I have one more question please.

(unless you want somebody else to do it for you, which is probably not an option

well really thank you for your time, of course I don't want some body to do it for me. I am a student at the last year of university so I don't think I will have so much time to work on this but I will try to do my best.
Will you help if I needed some help in my work?

Altough this is not the purpose of this forum, If I see you're serious about this, and ask 'smart questions', I'll try to help when I can.Mohsen35 wrote:well really thank you for your time, of course I don't want some body to do it for me.
