Hi,

I want to write an Intel PRO/100 driver but cannot find anything about it on google. I am very grateful if someone can give me some info.

One way is to get the driver source from intel (publicly downloadable), but that's in GPL so you may need some "clean room design" instead of using it directly.

The "Intel PRO/100" family encompasses several chipsets (..i82557, i82558, i82550, i82551, 82559, i82562).

You can find a datasheet here, along with other documentation.

They all should be largely compatible with each other, BSD's support them using a single driver.. I believe Linux might as well.
