The Applied Research Lab (ARL) of Washington University and the ATOMIC-2
Project at USC/ISI are pleased to announce the availability of a BSD
device driver for the Adaptec 590x series of PCI ATM host adaptors (eg
ANA-5940)
Written by Chuck Cranor of Washington University's ARL
(chuck@ccrc.wustl.edu),
the "MIDWAY" ATM device driver originally supported Efficient
Network's
PCI ATM 155Mbps cards under FreeBSD, NetBSD, and OpenBSD. Working with
Anne Hutton of USC/ISI, Chuck has recently added support for the Adaptec
series of 155Mbps PCI ATM cards to the driver.
The driver is currently in use at Washington University for several
projects include the MARS video server project, the IP/ATM integration
project, and the "QoS Guarantees Within Endsystems" project (see
http://www.arl.wustl.edu/arl for details on these projects). USC/ISI is
currently using the driver as part of their ATOMIC-2 project
(http://www.isi.edu/atomic2/) for a PC-based ATM-ATOMIC gateway.
The driver is also being used by researchers at Nokia, Sony, and
Georgia Tech among other places.
The driver is fully integrated into the NetBSD and OpenBSD source trees
and can be obtained from those project's ftp servers. The FreeBSD
version of the driver [partly contributed by Kenjiro Cho
<kjc@csl.sony.co.jp>]
can be obtained from ftp://dworkin.wustl.edu/dist/bsd/bsdatm1.4.tar.gz
