There are no Broadcom ethernet drivers. Broadcom tend to be bad about documentation, especially there wireless devices. So you might have trouble getting the documentation you need to write a driver. If you can, throw your broadcom device out and get an chipset that is supported. Take a look in packages/devs/eth. Maybe a dumb question, but why are you using eCos? What do you need that eCos offers? Andrew -- Before posting, please read the FAQ: http://ecos.sourceware.org/fom/ecos and search the list archive: http://ecos.sourceware.org/ml/ecos-discuss
