rtl8139 + rtl8169 driver?
Posted: Thu Aug 07, 2014 2:36 am
Hi all,
I'm working on the network drivers again. I have a working RTL8139 and E1000 driver and I'm trying to port it to RTL8169 (as I have a physical RTL8168). Looking through the driver logic & specs, it looks like RTL8139C+ is nearly identical in driver logic to RTL8169. Is it possible to make a single driver of both of them, or to use a single register-based and a single descriptor-based driver for both?
Thanks.
