Introduction

Microchip’s ENC28J60 is a 28-pin, 10BASE-T stand alone Ethernet
Controller with on board MAC & PHY, 8 Kbytes of Buffer RAM and an SPI
serial interface. With a small foot print package size the ENC28J60
minimizes complexity, board space and cost. Target applications include
VoIP, Industrial Automation, Building Automation, Home Control, Security
and Instrumentation.

Linux Drivers

2.4 Kernel
Driver
, this an experimental driver to test the basic features of the
enc28j60 under linux. it was done using the s3c2410 arm920t. this
driver can be modified to work with other spi controllers including
bitbanging. this is a VERY ugly hack and is not ment to be a
production driver.
2.6 Kernel Driver no SPI subsystem , this is the initial driver
support for the enc28j60. this driver uses a spi interface header
that describes the device being used. (Completed, waiting on lawyers
approval for release)
2.6 Kernel Driver with SPI Subsystem, this version of the driver
supports the new SPI subsystem that is available from 2.6.16 and
newer. (ETA 8/28/2006 update: there is a driver in the Linux Kernel
- …/drivers/net/ethernet/microchip/enc28j60.c)
