This document describes the design of the Ethernet driver architecture
introduced in NDK 2.0. This design differs from that in previous versions
of NDK. All Ethernet drivers packaged as a part of the Network
Developer's Kit (NDK) Support Package in NDK 2.0 follow the generic
architecture described in this document.
Important Note:
❏ This document covers only the Ethernet driver architecture. The
serial driver is no longer supported as of NDK 2.0. For serial driver
information, see documentation from earlier releases of the NDK.
❏ The setup and installation steps for each NDK Support Package
(NSP) are provided in the Release Notes provided with that NSP.
This document is intended for writers of Ethernet mini-drivers. This
document assumes you have knowledge of Ethernet concepts.
