I am looking for a WD8013 Ethernet adapter. I was told that Western Digital's 16-bit adapter is now referred to as the WDLANEP16. Does anyone know if this is just a WD8013 with a new name stamped on it? Or is it a completely new design? Thanks, Bill Delaney (wpd@ece.arizona.edu)

There is a complete new family of boards, the ELITE line. These are functionaly nearly identical ( the new drivers work with the old ones, not vice versa ) but are higher integrated, with fewer chips, smd tech, and they are software configurable through a eeprom. Jumpers are needed only for thick/thin and for a emergency address ( to soft-configure if one lost the address in the eeprom ) Reinhard Kirchner Univ.
