Feel free to post your "Most Wanted" BeOS driver requests here and I'll scan through this thread for them and update the BeDrivers.com "Most Wanted" page from time to time.

See http://www.bedrivers.com/mostwanted.html for the current list.

in linux as far as I can tell this card uses the tulip driver.

It seems to be using either a "PNIC" chip which is slightly
different from the stock "tulip" or an ADMtek Comet.

info here: http://www.scyld.com/network/tulip.html

lne100tx info here: http://lhd.zdnet.com/db/dispproduct.php3?DISP?45

More: http://lhd.zdnet.com/db/dispreport.cgi?DISP?2005

this is a very inexpensive card and I'm sure I'm not the only one who has it.

if there is any more information I can give you, then please let me know.

I also have an MSI KT3 Ultra-ARU motherboard

Info here: http://lhd.zdnet.com/db/dispproduct.php3?DISP?3238

I tried the VIA AC97 driver on http://www.bedrivers.com but it
didn't seem to work.

and I also have the microsoft intellimouse explorer wireless USB
which works, but seems to click without me touching it at random intervals.

I'm not a programer (I can read some, but not much) but if there's anything
I can do to help or test then let me know.

The good news is that board uses the Realtek® Avance ALC201A/202A/650 AC'97 Audio chip, which does have docs available so perhaps some BeOS dev can work on this. Bad news is no one has yet that I know of. I've gotten a few requests now for this chipset so I'll add it to the most wanted list soon.

I would like an USB OHCI driver, PHILIPS USB webcams or Updated BeCPIA drivers and SB Live! full support (4 speaker output and MIDI).

Yeah, that's it.

Somewhere there is OHCI support. Someone said dano, I don't know who.

Anyone know how to run BeOS
on a hard disk connected to this controller ?

Thomas Kurschel wrote an IDE replacement driver that is untested. I suspect that you will have to write to him to make a driver that includes the card/chipset ID number that prevents his fine ide replacement driver from working on your board. It may not work after that and you may lose all you data. http://bebits.com/app/2625
See, if your chip isn't in the driver then beos will not load the driver. (mostly) He wrote that to include specific cards. Yours is currently not one of them. It still may work if beos is forced to pick that driver by virtue of no other. Get the bootdisk and see if you can mount the beos partiton. Otherwise it seems that the driver either fails because of programming or because if identification.

There is only one more idea that you might try. If you connect an older IDE device to the 133 it will fall back to the slowest device. So you might try an older CD or hard drive as slave to the fast HD in order to slow it down. IDE
will only work at the slowest device's speed per port. (this is only a crude attempt to get you working)

Might also see if bios can slow the ide speed down. I know my Epox board can.

I have the same card.. and I feel you, I would love to get BeOS working on the computers that have that card in them, without having to buy another (because, yes it is.. an expensive card.)
