[ECOS] Default Network Interface Card support in examples of book Anthony J. Massa - "eCos S/W dev"

[Nodir Qodirov <nodir dot qodirov at gmail dot com>]

Good time of day to all!

I have been learning Embedded world just for last 3 month, while
Embedded RTOS since 1 month. I read good book "Embedded Software
Development With eCos" - Anthony J. Massa, I think most of you read it
too. Now I'm trying to run examples of it. But here I need for help...

When I try to run RedBoot on target system (i386 pc) from Floopy, I got message:

-------------------------------------------------->
No network interfaces found
RedBoot(tm) bootstrap and debug environment [FLOPPY]
Non-certified release, version UNKNOWN - built 13:22:29, Mar 29 2009
Platform: PC (I386)

RedBoot>
<-------------------------------------------------

Last 3 days I read previous posts related to same problems from eCos
discuss-list and tried their advice too. But I couldn't solve my
problem.

My Network Card is "Realtek RTL8139 Family PCI Fast Ethernet NIC", and
there was post telling to updated repository, after update I had
Redboot template "i386 PC target with RTL8139 ethernet", but when I
configure and build Redboot itself with "ConfigTool1.3 net" I'm
getting some errors:

-------------------------------->
make[1]: *** [src/hal_misc.o.d] Error 1
make[1]: *** Waiting for unfinished jobs....
cc1.exe: Invalid option `-finline-limit=7000'
make[1]: *** [src/i386_stub.o.d] Error 1
make[1]: Leaving directory
`/ecos-d/workdir/redboot_rtl8139/redboot_build/hal/i386/arch/current'
make: *** [build] Error 2
make: Leaving directory `/ecos-d/workdir/redboot_rtl8139/redboot_build'
<--------------------------------

Maybe it was some error with packeges or I have configured something wrong...

My question is "which network interface card (NIC) does support
Redboot by default, which is built on the book of Anthony J. Massa as
an example?". I'm going to change my NIC to that particular NIC, hence
I'll be able run eCos examples with less problems.

Thanks for help!
Nodir.
