Does anyone know the whereabouts of a packet driver that would let me run
TCPIP over PRONET with Proteon's cards??

Does anyone know the whereabouts of a packet driver that would let me run
TCPIP over PRONET with Proteon's cards??
To my knowlege, there have never been any Class 2 (ProNET-10) packet drivers.
Given that at least PC-IP and NCSA support the basic packet formats, it
wouldn't be hard to do one, but you'd probably want Netware support too...

As far as I know, there is no packet driver for any Proteon cards, nor is
anyone working on one.

We found the most useful solution was to make a packet driver which fully emulates the Ethernet card. Other than multicasts, this is actually quite easy. This allows us to use PC-IP, NCSA, etc. in the mode they were written and tested in-Ethernet mode. Unfortunately, our driver must also handle our local routing, network card demultiplexing, etc., so it is not particularly useful for you. If you are interested in doing the work yourself, I could mail you some tips. Erick Network Systems Manager Faculty of Engineering University of Waterloo
