NOTE:

 You need the official Nintendo Broad Band Adapter (BBA) installed to use network on the GameCube...

  ...and the qoob PRO or SX modchip naturally. ;)

Brief summary from qoobchip....

Supported stuff is:
- DOLUP (upload dol/elf on port 4000 - no bin yet)
- HTTP ("/DVD" for ripping discs)

- To flash via Network, you need to hold "D-Pad-Left"+"B"
while booting. IP address will be 192.168.1.32. There's
no way to change that.

The DOLUP support can be used to send .elf/.dol to the GameCube.

Use netcat (windows dos command line binary here) or similar util to send elf via DOLUP function on port 4000, using netcat in this case:

nc 192.168.1.32 4000 < my.elf

The HTTP support is for ripping GC discs, point your browser to:

http://192.168.1.32/DVD

More info from qoobchip...

IP address defaults to 192.168.1.32. This should fit
most people. (Hint: Even Windows supports more than one IP address
per network adapter. No need to break your network.)

PRO only:
If you want to change this, you must prepare for some hex-editing
(sorry). Store the configuration, read the configuration block
with the flash tool, and load it into an hex editor. at offset
108, 10c, 110 you have to insert the IP, Netmask, Gateway.
You _must_ specify a non-null IP for each of the three.

(You either know what this means or you have to wait for the
next version=)=

Example:

00108: 0A 00 00 10 FF FF FF 00 0A 00 00 01

would be IP 10.0.0.16, netmask 255.255.255.0, gateway 10.0.0.1.

Network support comes from tmbinc's fine IPL replacement (thanks,
man=). We removed GPL'd parts before (especially the gc-linux based=
network driver) and replaced them with own. LWIP's license is
BSD-styled and tmbinc's stuff is public domain, as he stated. We
hope it's ok, but we would had done it in a very similiar way, so
we better used the time to improve it than to reinvent the wheel.
Oh, the /DVD-rip support has been recoded, but it was only like 5
lines of code thanks to the nice httpd design.

This only applies to the network stuff. Every other GC code was
completely recoded by our team.
