Will take a look at it.
The problem that I have with the NIC chip is that my simple driver which is
part of the IOC3 driver for Linux works fine for the builtin IOC3 on my
Origin but fails for both my IOC3 PCI cards. By my reading of the spec
everything should be just work, so I was searching for somebody who might
bring some light into ``iButton undocumented''. I'm close to the point
where I think I should hookup the NIC to a logic analyzer to see what's
actually happenig on the bus.
