We now have WiFi on the emulating an ne2000 card! yyzkevin (who did the SB DSP work released a while ago) was responsible for this with a bit of help from me between days here at . Awesome!

@polpo Amazing! How did you recreate an ne2000 card? Did you have to reverse engineer it or are the specs available somewhere?

@highvoltage @polpo I would assume that you just need to emulate the registers and map it to ethernet packets on the WiFi..? The source for NE2000 drivers on Linux might be a good starting point.
