Much of this documentation was written by Eric Norum +(eric@skatter.usask.ca) +of the Saskatchewan Accelerator Laboratory +who also ported the FreeBSD TCP/IP stack to RTEMS. + +The following is a list of resources which should be useful in trying +to understand Ethernet: + +- *Charles Spurgeon’s Ethernet Web Site* + "This site provides extensive information about Ethernet + (IEEE 802.3) local area network (LAN) technology. Including + the original 10 Megabit per second (Mbps) system, the 100 Mbps + Fast Ethernet system (802.3u), and the Gigabit Ethernet system (802.3z)." + The URL is: + (http://www.ethermanage.com/ethernet/ethernet.html) + +- *TCP/IP Illustrated, Volume 1 : The Protocols* by + by W.
