[parisc-linux] A4308A nic

[Ard van Breemen]

Hi,
I just installed debian on my D250.
Those guys making the network install realy did a good job...
It almost worked out of the box. The only cullprit was that it
crashed on a bluefish FWD scsi controller not having any
terminators on the bus...

Allright,
But now I see this A4308A, a real surprising card, and what I
find more surprising is that I did not find it on the
mailinglist.
The card is an EISA card, which contains a PLX EISA9032, probably
an EISA to PCI bridge (and not v.v.!), an intel 82556, and an LSI
L5A4242. I can understand the plx and the intel, but the LSI?
If I search for these items, I find some 3com EISA cards with the
LSI L5A4242 for sale, not mentioning the intel etc. ...
So I reckon the LSI should be some kind of processor?
I've got some pictures of it (in a few hours actually, my
upstream is not that big):

Things I want:
- Any confirmation that it is not supported yet. (Eh, and of
  course that I am not making a fool of myself because I could
  have RTFMd :-) ).
- Anyone with docs on the 3com card.
- If possible on the A4308A card.
- PLX EISA9032, I cannot find it on www.plxtech.com...

And thanks for giving me the pleasure for having an hp9000 :-)
