Device Drivers
|
Every physical network must have an associated device driver.
KwikNet offers a variety of optional serial and Ethernet
device drivers from which you can choose.
KwikNet includes Ethernet and serial loopback drivers which can be used
very effectively for testing without any hardware.
A crossover serial driver is also provided.
It allows two serial networks to operate as though interconnected
by a null modem, but without serial device drivers or hardware.
KwikNet is delivered with an NE-2000 compliant Ethernet
device driver and a serial UART device driver.
The latter supports the Intel 8251A USART and the
National Semiconductor INS8250, NS16450, NS16550 and NS16C552.
KwikNet also provides an Ethernet and serial device driver shell,
a ready to use template for constructing your own device driver.
The shell implements the complete interface between the
KwikNet network driver and the device driver.
You simply fill in the device dependent code sequences
as instructed in the file.
The following optional Serial device drivers are available,
ready for use with KwikNet v3.
