FEATURE REQUEST : Microchip ENC28J60 Ethernet module support

[dlasher]

While I realize there's already "host" ethernet support (from the A314 project) given how the pistorm "maps" devices through, this would be a fantastic candidate for inclusion. Now the amiga can get it's own dedicated ethernet interface independent of the PI.

Microchip ENC28J60 Ethernet module

• CHEAP - ready to go boards are $5 in quantity on amazon
• can be driven off the GPIO ports on the PI
• already has an ethernet driver compiled by the Apollo/Vampire guys (v2expeth.device)
• source code for driver freely available : https://gitlab.com/MHeinrichs/Zorro-LAN-IDE/-/tree/master/Driver/baxnet/source/sdnet

Thanks for consideration.

Unfortunately, there are no free GPIO pins on the Raspberry with Pistorm. All pins are needed for the 68k hardware bus emulation.

Bummer - thanks for the quick reply - are there any other supported "additional" ethernet devices, perhaps via USB?

Yes sure, any ethernet/WiFi/5g/usb rndis/whatever usb adapter with Linux drivers can be used as long as it's a normal Linux network interface
