I am trying to get my Focus SCSI ethernet adapter to work under Linux. I found
there are a few projects going on and there is a netBSD driver for a Cabletron
SCSI ethernet adapter.

So far I heard of these brands:

Dayna
Cabletron
Assante
Focus

(all having 1 or more type of SCSI ethernet adapter)

The Cabletron has a (netBSD) driver which could be ported with relatively
little effort. The others have to be investigated (what protocol do they use on
the SCSI bus? I guess similar to the Cabletron adapter but there will (may...)
be differences.
Info about the internals of these adapters is welcome, I think.

Greetz,
