| + | * **Jim McQuillan**\\ provided changes to support the SMC1211 which uses the RTL8139 chip. | ||
| + | |||
| + | * **Steve Smith**\\ Extended the 3c905b driver for other members of the 90x family. Be sure to read the release notes in 3c90x.txt before using. Modified loader.S for some BIOSes that don't behave correctly with INT19H. | ||
| + | |||
| + | * **John Finlay**\\ Wrote a utility for programming EEPROMs on 3c90x in situ. | ||
| + | |||
| + | * **Nick Lopez**\\ Contributed change to tulip.c to handle Macronix 98715 (Tulip clone). | ||
| + | |||

| + | |||
| + | * **Marty Connor**\\ Contributed new Tulip driver ntulip.c. Reduced RTL8139 footprint. Added support for Netgear FA310TX (Tulip clone, LC82C168 chip). Support for 3Com905C. Romutil for 905C, which have block erase EEPROMs. Contributed the development of liloprefix.S through thinguin.org. Finally made the ROM images conformant PnP boot ROM images. Wrote the SiS900 driver. Made Tulip driver work for many more variants. Wrote the National Semiconductor DP83815 driver, under funding from [[http://www.sicompos.com/|Sicom System]]. | ||
