Notes: I've been for a long time out of the Squeak community, and now I feel confused by all the new and exciting ways of participation and sharing (SqueakPeople, SqueakMap, Monticello, the good old swiki, etc)... I need somebody to introduce me to all this new beings! Please!
Anyway, I used to help developing the MorphicWrappers, I was part of the MathSqueak project, and developer on SqueakNOS... as soon as I get used to SqueakPeople et.al. I'll update my state in all this...
This person is:
- a Developer on project MorphicWrapper.

New release available: SqueakNOS-08-Aug-2006.iso
This release was reorganized for a clearer distribution and to be in synch with the article "SqueakNOS: Building, changing, booting and installing.".
It also has Lance and Realtek8139 network cards initialization by default, as well as TCP/IP stack initialization, except for setting up the IP address, which should be done from the Workspace.

New article posted
I posted a new article in the SqueakNOS series: SqueakNOS: Building, changing, booting and installing. Take a look if you are interested in making modifications to SqueakNOS (and testing the modifications). Or if you want to make a bootable USB disk with SqueakNOS.

RTL8139 working and NetSqueak integrated into SqueakNOSRealtek8139PCIDevice can receive and send perfectly!!! but way more important, Luciano is working a lot on NetSqueak and now we have integrated all his work in SqueakNOS, and... IP, ARP, ICMP are working, UDP should be working and TCP is almost working (You can open a listening port in SqueakNOS and telnet from outside for example, or you can open an outgoing connection). New release coming soon
Almost booted on Macbook pro.We used BootCamp with a modified version of GRUB including the A20 patch. (We will release this new GRUB with next SqueakNOS release, if you need it, mail us).
The video mode was correct, but then, when SqueakNOS started toying with hardware I/O ports the Macbook pro froze... we were not surprised to see it freezing, as all hardware must be different, but it was nice to see that it's at least booting, and that the problem now must be solved in Squeak and not natively. We are not going to put much more time on this right now though.

Realtek8139Device transmit workingI have just commited to Monticello Realtek8139PCIDevice. This is a device supporting Realtek RTL8139 10/100 Ethernet card. Right now it only supports receiving, but in a much better way than the LancePCIDevice (this RTL device uses a 64kb circular buffer as supported by the card, the LancePCIDevice still does not support the circular linked list feature).
Transmiting is not supported yet, but should not take long to do... stay tunned!
