Almost all information in this file is now obsolete. Writing a new driver

Browse Source 
should, with the new build system, just be a case of writing the .c file
and dropping it in place in drivers/net.  :)

How I added the SIS900 card to Etherboot
Author: Marty Connor (mdc@thinguin.org)
Date: 25 Febrary 2001
Description:
This file is intended to help people who want to write an Etherboot
driver or port another driver to Etherboot. It is a starting point.
Perhaps someday I may write a more detailed description of writing an
Etherboot driver. This text should help get people started, and
studying sis900.[ch] should help show the basic structure and
techniques involved in writing and Etherboot driver.
***********************************************************************
0. Back up all the files I need to modify:
cd etherboot-4.7.20/src
cp Makefile Makefile.orig
cp config.c config.c.orig
cp pci.h pci.h.orig
cp NIC NIC.orig
cp cards.h cards.h.orig
1. Edit src/Makefile to add SIS900FLAGS to defines
SIS900FLAGS= -DINCLUDE_SIS900
2. edit src/pci.h to add PCI signatures for card
#define PCI_VENDOR_ID_SIS 0x1039
#define PCI_DEVICE_ID_SIS900 0x0900
#define PCI_DEVICE_ID_SIS7016 0x7016
3. Edit src/config.c to add the card to the card probe list
#if defined(INCLUDE_NS8390) || defined(INCLUDE_EEPRO100) ||
defined(INCLUDE_LANCE) || defined(INCLUDE_EPIC100) ||
defined(INCLUDE_TULIP) || defined(INCLUDE_OTULIP) ||
defined(INCLUDE_3C90X) || defined(INCLUDE_3C595) ||
defined(INCLUDE_RTL8139) || defined(INCLUDE_VIA_RHINE) ||
defined(INCLUDE_SIS900) || defined(INCLUDE_W89C840)
... and ...
#ifdef INCLUDE_SIS900
{ PCI_VENDOR_ID_SIS, PCI_DEVICE_ID_SIS900,
"SIS900", 0, 0, 0, 0},
{ PCI_VENDOR_ID_SIS, PCI_DEVICE_ID_SIS7016,
"SIS7016", 0, 0, 0, 0},
#endif
... and ...
#ifdef INCLUDE_SIS900
{ "SIS900", sis900_probe, pci_ioaddrs },
#endif
4. Edit NIC to add sis900 and sis7016 to NIC list
# SIS 900 and SIS 7016
sis900 sis900 0x1039,0x0900
sis7016 sis900 0x1039,0x7016
5. Edit cards.h to add sis900 probe routine declaration
#ifdef INCLUDE_SIS900
extern struct nic *sis900_probe(struct nic *, unsigned short *
PCI_ARG(struct pci_device *));
#endif

At this point, you can begin creating your driver source file. See
the "Writing an Etherboot Driver" section of the Etherboot
documentation for some hints. See the skel.c file for a starting
point. If there is a Linux driver for the card, you may be able to
use that. Copy and learn from existing Etherboot drivers (this is GPL
/ Open Source software!).
Join the etherboot-developers and etherboot-users mailing lists
(information is on http://etherboot.sourceforge.net) for information and
assistance. We invite more developers to help improve Etherboot.
Visit the http://etherboot.sourceforge.net, http://thinguin.org,
http://rom-o-matic.net, and http://ltsp.org sites for information and
assistance.
Enjoy.
