FORE Systems PCA-200E/SBA-200E ATM NIC driver

This driver adds support for the FORE Systems 200E-series ATM adapters to the Linux operating system. It is based on the earlier PCA-200E driver written by Uwe Dannowski.

The driver simultaneously supports PCA-200E and SBA-200E adapters on i386, alpha (untested), powerpc, sparc and sparc64 archs.

The intent is to enable the use of different models of FORE adapters at the same time, by hosts that have several bus interfaces (such as PCI+SBUS, or PCI+EISA).

Only PCI and SBUS devices are currently supported by the driver, but support for other bus interfaces such as EISA should not be too hard to add.

Firmware Updates

The FORE Systems 200E-series driver is shipped with firmware data being uploaded to the ATM adapters at system boot time or at module loading time. /(DEBLOBBED)/
