I have used Amoeba networking with 1.5.10.

I needed to change the interrupt vector and base memory address for the
way the WD Ethernet cards are configured here.  I also had to make the
same changes when I used 1.3 amoeba.

I changed 

   the ETHER_IRQ in src/kernel/const.h (from 3 to 5 im my case)
   the base address of the cards memory also in src/kernel/const.h 
       (from C4000 to D8000 in my case)
   the misplaced bracked in src/amoeba/examples/client3.c
      from 	if ((n=read(fd1, b, 1024) < 0)) {
      to	if ((n=read(fd1, b, 1024)) < 0) {

Apart from that everything seems to work well.

Hope this helps 


Tony
