Progress and whatnot

Those who really know me, i.e. my precious Julie, know that when I find something I find funny I do it. A lot.

So for the last few days I've been totally focused on Cosmos, and have made some significant changes dare I say. The network driver for RTL 8139 became stable enough to send proper packets the other day. Yey!

Today I added support for VMWare Server (since we only had VMWare Workstation from before). The VMW Server hasn't got an RTL network card, so for now we are only able to send networkpackets from Qemu and physical machines with RTL NIC's.

Oh, did I mention that the RTL can't receive packets yet? A mono-NIC if you will. Once I understand IRQ's in Cosmos (and we get that darn "Invalid Opcode" bug out of the way) we can hopefully get a fully functional network card.

It would be awesome if we could get two Cosmos machines talking to each other before Chad goes to Egypt to present Cosmos at Microsoft Egypt's EDC, Egyptian Developers Conference in April.
