I've just found this -
Pcnet_cs is a driver for all NS8390-based PCMCIA ethernet cards. It can use
either polled IO or a shared memory window to exchange data with the card.
The driver first tests for a shared memory buffer, falling back on polled
IO if the memory test fails. When this driver is bound to a card, it
allocates the next available ethernet device (eth0..eth#). This device name
will be reported in the kernel log file, and passed on to cardmgr(8).
So - does anyone know which device from the list belongs to the NS8390
group?
According to
http://www.mikrotik.com/documentation/manual_2.7/DriverList.html
the 3Com 3c590 driver should work. Unfortunately I'm still getting 'Device
eth0 doesn't seem to be present' :-(
