“With the increasing acceptance of the Linux operating
system, and being among the first companies to offer Linux support
for its PCMCIA products, the Company is now developing Linux
support for its Home-Networking and Broad-Band Internet Access
product line. The Linux software support is expected to be released
during the first quarter of 2000.“
“As Windows NT4, Linux does not contain USB system device
drivers and interfaces. Therefore, the Linux drivers and software
support currently under development present the same type of
research and development challenges we faced while developing the
Windows NT 4.0 support.”, said David Hendel, VP R&D at Silicom.
“Based on our previous experience with developing Linux drivers for
our PCMCIA products released in early 1999, and based on our
successful development of USB support for Windows NT4, we are very
optimistic that we will successfully finalize this challenging
development task.”
