Take a look at the <http://www.vsr.si/ecos>. As for the current version of 
eCos, the lancepci device works only in pooled environment, that means 
RedBoot. In interrupt driven environment any control function can stop the 
device aburptly, while in stage of transmittion, causing it to HANG!

I'll fix that during the Christmass hollydays, when I have time.
