Netbooting with DEC de205?




Hello everybody,

I'm setting up some linux diskless clients, and just don't
succeed in gettig netboot to run with a de205 NIC. The only
driver that worked for it was the NE2000 driver, but it didn't
find the MAC adress, it always said 00:00:00... 
So the bootp request goes wrong :-(

Did anybody use this card before, and knows which driver is correct, and
probably also io adress and irq?

I also have some machines with a 3Com905, that works fine, with
a DOS packet driver a got from 3Com's ftp site, but at Compaq's site
I couldn't get a driver for the de205.

BTW, under linux it takes the ewrk3 driver, and works fine, only
the bootrom part doesn't work.

Well, many thanks, and keep up the good work...
