<br>Now I come up with one question:<br>
I'm going to use "Broadcom BCM57xx PCI" family as it suits my case. The driver for this family is placed in the folder "if_bge".<br>I searched if_bge.c and did not find a function with "static int (struct rtems_bsdnet_ifconfig*, int)" signature to introduce it as my "CONFIGURE_NETWORK_DRIVER_ATTACH" function.<br>
I mean for other drivers like DEC21140 there is a function like "int rtems_dec21140_driver_attach (struct rtems_bsdnet_ifconfig *config, int attach)" and a name like "ne1" but for BGE, I did not find similiar function and name. So how I'm supposed to use them as Ethernet driver in my application? How may I configure my application in order to use them?<br>

There is also some more in the libsdports repo ....<br>

How I'm supposed to tell my application to use those drivers? For DEC<br>
and NE and WD was as easy as changing the first entry in the<br>
"rtems_bsdnet_ifconfig" structure.<br>

It is an external library you link your application to. To build first build and install the BSP you are using (see the --with-rtems-top setting). In my case I use this library with the pc586 BSP. Then ....<br>
<br>
$ /Users/chris/Development/<u></u>rtems/src/libbsdport/configure \<br>
--host=i386-rtems4.10 \<br>
--with-rtems-top=/Users/chris/<u></u>Development/rtems/build/4.10 \<br>
--prefix=/Users/chris/<u></u>Development/rtems/build/4.10 \<br>
--enable-std-rtems-installdirs --enable-maintainer-mode \<br>
--enable-rtemsbsp=pc586<br>
$ make all install<br>
<br>
I use this in the RTL test program. The specific source to set up and use the library can be found here ...<br>

BTW, is it possible that I use those<br>
drivers with RTEMS 4.10.2 tarball or I must use HEAD branch in order to<br>
use them? Please enlighten me a little more. :)<br>

I have not used 4.10.x recently how-ever I feel it should work because there has been no major changes in the network area on head.<span><font color="#888888"><br>
