ENC28J60 Modulepage  1 2

I ordered an ENC28J60 module with ebay but the one I received looks a bit different than the one shown in the wiki:

EXTERNAL LINK 
Does anybody know how to connect this one to the vampire V500 V2+ expansion header? I then tried lightinthebox.com, but received the very same model once more...

So far I found out, that this module should be compatible with both 3.3V and 5V and that 'Q3' means 3.3V so I probably should connect it like VCC (port 2). I can see how to connect SO, CS, SCK and GND, but am missing INT and SI.

I tried ST as SI and LNT as INT, but it didn't work.
Can anybody help?

8 (MISO) to (So)
1 (MOSI) to (ST)
3 (nCS1) to (CS)
6 (CLK) to (SCK)
5 (IRQ) to (LNT)
7 (GND) to (GND)
2 (+3.3V) to (Q3)

I Have the same Modul.

I suspect that this will be a recurring question as the manufacturers of these modules seem to be mislabeling them, or perhaps inaccurately labelling is more correct.  LNT seems to me like INT (interrupt) but the person responsible could distinguish between "I" and "T". "SI" being mistaken for "ST" also looks like a similar case.  Sounds like they were less than competent with the Latin character set.

I saw that Arananet was prototyping something that looked like an ENC28J60 and USB module for the V2.  Does anyone know more about this?  A picture of the board was pasted on IRC some time back.  It seems to me that a purpose built board with a connector that aligns perfectly with the ExpPort on the V2 would eliminate these kinds of issues.

I can't get it to work. I connected it like Daniel said, the red diod on the module is on but when I run 'sdnettest' the output is:

starting
Ok. vampire.resource present
Ok. vampire.resource port 0 allocated
Fail. Cannot read chip rev at speed 10
Fail. Cannot read chip rev at speed 9
...
Fail. Cannot read chip rev at speed 0
Fail. No response from revision command.
      Check ENC28J60 power supply and cabling.

What should the ouput be? What could I have done wrong besides the cabling (I checked it over and over again)?

I have installed core GOLD 2.9 and SAGADrivers 1.3. Version of sdnet.device is 1.2, though. Is that normal?

There is a wiki page for setting up the ENC28J60: EXTERNAL LINK 
  If this doesn't match some of the modules then the wiki should be updated to save this kind of grief. Who updates the wiki?

That's what I proposed in my post :)

V2expeth.device in SAGADriver.v1.3.lha to be used.

V2expeth.device is removed Devs/Netvork draver. Miami init is easily connected.

What would the correct output of 'sdnettest' be? Can anyone give it a quick go, please?

@Haydar YÜKSEL
You saved my day!

For some reason I thought I had to use the netinterface 'sdnet'. But now, using 'V2expeth' it works, finally!

Thank you so much!!!

Maybe the wiki could be updated to state somewhere which netinterface to be used...

Most web pages will look horrible (lacking all formatting basically) unless you are using a CSS-capable browser and as far as I know only Netsurf knows how to handle CSS reasonably. Which browser are you using?

Netsurf almost gets you a proper browser, but it's still limited. If you want picture perfect web browsing on your 68k Amiga, use a VNC client (TwinVNC) and connect to a PC running a vncserver.

good luck, but those are literally the best browsers for 68k Amigas.

Also bear in mind the modern internet/webpages are MASSIVE for the modest resources of something like even a Vampireized amiga, facebook alone needs like 500mb ram to work "ok" .. a 128mb ram vampire isn't going to deal with it well.. at best using netsurf you **might** be able to get some mobile versions of websites (like m.facebook.com) to load but without full support of modern browser features like javascript/CSS your result is not going to be on a par even with your mobile phone.. The Amiga was never intended to go onto the internet, let alone the current modern internet which is orders of complexity and size larger than when it first appeared back in the twilight of the Amiga's original time.. So really enjoy what you can get but don't put a lot of hopes into having a modern web surfing experience on an amiga.. its just not really capable of it ..

a better browser is only available if you install aros on your amiga. aros owb has a fork of 9 years old webkit engine. and it will work within 128mb ram. i have tested it on my a4000. but it will be slow. i also have odyssey 1.25 compiling for m68k already. but it crashes. which isnt unexpected since it wasnt even ported to morphos or os4 due to endian problems. and, even if i ever get it working, it wont have the same footprint as owb, neither what concerns memory requirements nor speed, as you might expect.
