I am reading the linux source code now.But I have no knowledge of this card.
I don't know how to send command,receive data,and know little about how to
configure the registers.

I think if I have the data *** of this card,the work will be a little
easier.

But how can I get the data ***.I have access to www.d-link.com.
But I found only information about how to use this card.There is no
information about how to write driver for this card.
I think if I did not work for this convertion I will care little about how
to write driver for ethernet card,because manufacturer has done everything
for you.

Unfortunately,I need to know how to write driver for this card.So I think I
must have the data *** of this card,Or I think I can not do this work
well.

Could some one give some help?

Thanks in advance.
