    Import of EtherB driver for ANT NIC · 50689427
    Robert Sprowson authored
    This is a clean room reimplementation of the EtherB driver, as the sources are long since lost in the mists of time.
    Based on the SEEQ8005 driver from NetBSD it has a few extra changes (demarked by 'RISCOS')
    * Some power on self test (configured with *CONFIGURE ETHERB <option>)
    * Support for a virtual interface, and seperate stats collection
    * Allows up to 8 packets in flight so the dead time while waiting for the hardware to send one packet is used to copy in the next
    Tested with a NIC fitted with a SEEQ80C04 and with SEEQ80C04A.
    In theory a SEEQ8005 should work, but this has not been tested due to lack of available chips - they were discontinued in 1992, and all samples of ANT NICs seem to be 80C04 or 80C04A based.
