Porting network adapter drivers to MDI 2

Porting SVR5 DLPI drivers to MDI 2

In most cases, it is easier to modify an existing sample MDI driver to support your network adapter than to port a DLPI driver to MDI. The hardware-specific portions, such as the interrupt routine and transmit code, may be reused with some modifications.

If you want to port a SVR5 1 or 2 DLPI driver to SVR5 MDI, the following steps may help:

See the sample source code that is provided in the ndsample package for examples of how these coding changes are implemented.
