Description
The Hardware Abstraction Layer is a set of C-Functions which work as an
interface between the netX Software Application and the netX Ethernet Standard MAC. The
aim is to have an interface which is operating independent and downwards
compatible between all existing and future netX Network Controllers. They are
easier to use as writing or reading directly the Controller Registers.
