The xsurf
driver provides support for ethernet, IDE
controller and clockports present on the Individual Computers X-Surf card.
The xsurf
driver supports the following hardware:
- Individual Computers X-Surf
-
- E3B Deneb (fake X-Surf board, firmware v11, clockport only)
-
The xsurf
device first appeared in
NetBSD 7.0.
The xsurf
driver was written by
Radoslaw Kujawa
⟨radoslaw.kujawa@gmail.com⟩. The
ne(4) attachment code was split
from Ariadne II driver, written by Bernd Ernesti and extended by Ignatios
Souvatzis. IDE controller support was added by Radoslaw Kujawa and Frank
Wille.
Support for clockports remains largely untested.
The X-Surf IDE controller timings are not configurable and are known to be
incompatible with many hard disks (especially on the early X-Surf revisions).
This is purely a hardware problem.
