RE: [ECOS] WaveLAN PCMCIA network driver

["Trenton D. Adams" <tadams at extremeeng dot com>]

Actually, so do I! :)  I was looking at two different source code files.
My old one was MANFID and the new one was using VERS_1 so I was getting
the version information not Manufacturer information.  So, mine is as
you said 0x0156!

Do you have a working eCos driver for your WaveLAN cards?  If so, would
you be interested in sending it over?  The one I got from Andrea didn't
have the headers to go with it.
