someone knows a good document/tutorial about NE2000 programming?! I've already the "DP8390D/NS32490D NIC Network Interface" Controller document (got from the OSRC site), but I'd like more informations or examples...
Thanks in advance...

I've a PCI fast-ethernet card Realtek RTL8139. I can get the I/O base address by the PCI driver and all seems to be ok.
But how to manage the card?! Can I apply NE2000 specifications using as I/O base address and IRQ line the values I find with the PCI driver?! or I need to "initialize the device" via PCI?!
Many thanks.

hmm ... i'm not sure at all the RTL8139 is NE2000-compliant. If i were you, i'd get a look at linux driver sources and do a bit of reverse-engineering to check whether the specifications you have match the implementation ...
