Re: LANceGS ethernet card

That's about to change soon - at least hopefully. I've ported Contiki
(http://www.sics.se/~adam/contiki/) to the A2 and it's already doing
ethernet fine with Glenn Jones' card.

Contiki already has a driver for the ethernet chip on the LANceGS card
so I have reason to think that it's quite easy to adapt that driver to
the LANceGS card (having Joachim Langes 8-bit source code as
additional information).

So the "only" problem we currently have is me having no LANceGS card
(I already built up a little ethernet network and got myself a cheap
A2 for testing purposes) and not willing to buy one.

Joachim Lange told me that he'd lend me one for driver implementation
purposes but recently he said that he has no one to lend to me so I'm
on standby for notification that a card is available...
