NetBSD/Amiga
Hello,
I have installed NetBSD on my A1200. [ Show youtube player ] Of course I want to tweak it, but I would like to know if somebody manage to make the 3COM 3C589 running with this OS ? Thanks. |

Not sure about the wifi card compatibility but would be interested in further updates on what tweaks you do and what you use it for....Have been meaning to install Unix on my Amiga for ages.

I have reworked a bit the UI
https://dl.dropbox.com/u/1566495/Amiga/NetBSD.jpg The 3C589 are Ethernet. So nobody have a clue ? I have a Netgear MA401 (Wifi) which is detected (not configured) it seems the kernel needs to be compiled for the support. |

Nice job there gibs mate! Looks pretty responsive and cool
I'd advise to make a question to strim on Amibay which seems to update us with info on NetBSD and it's recent updates to support Grex and Mediator busboards. |

Hello.
Quote:
I'm successfully using NE2000-compatible PCMCIA ethernet card (Surecom EP-427) with ne driver. This card is supported by cnet.device in AmigaOS. Most cards supported by cnet.device should work without problems with the NetBSD. Regarding Netgear MA401 I don't know, since I don't have this card. You could try to build your own kernel with wi driver enabled. Last edited by strim; 13 August 2012 at 16:02. Reason: Add note about Netgear |

Okay, I've looked at this. I don't know if I can fix this, because I don't have my ep card here.
Please try this kernel: http://ftp.netbsd.org/pub/NetBSD/mis...ia/netbsd-ep-1 You can boot it from AmigaOS using loadbsd. I think that will be easiest way. Let me know if it does detect the card. Please take a photo of kernel messages. |

What are the specs on your a1200 (just out of curiosity)? I am building up an A1200 and have a Blizzard 1260 on the way. Was this running on an 060? It will give me some idea of what sort of performance to expect.

If you take a careful look at 0:37 of this video you'll see configuration of gibs' A1200 in the kernel messages .

I have an easynet pcmcia ethernet network adaptor on the way (the ones up on amigakit). I have this bad feeling that NetBSD wont support it. I hope I am wrong. Either way, if it doesnt work, I will go back to workbench or OS 3.5.
seeing BitchX run on amiga will be quite a sight IRC for the Elite! Last edited by prowler; 16 August 2012 at 22:57. Reason: Back-to-back posts merged. |

I'm in contact with developer who originally wrote the PCMCIA driver. We'll attempt to fix the support for 3Com's. But that might take some time. |

So it's an 060. Ok, well the performance isnt too shabby, certainly seems usable Quote:
Found this: Guess it's not going to work then since it appears to be a 3C589 Totally awesome to see a NetBSD dev here! You rock! Last edited by prowler; 16 August 2012 at 23:01. Reason: Back-to-back posts merged. |

Indeed, at least for now.
There's a compatible card on eBay now if you are interested: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Surecom-PC...#ht_500wt_1156 (I'm not the seller and don't know anything about him, but I have the same card) Last edited by prowler; 16 August 2012 at 23:02. Reason: Fixed quote. |
