Subject: NET_POLL missing in the new ibm_emac driver?
Date: Mon, 9 Apr 2007 12:53:22 -0400	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1176137602.30046.191.camel@psmithub> (raw)

[-- Attachment #1: Type: text/plain, Size: 1101 bytes --]

I was having so many problems with the 2.6.14 (old) emac driver that I
backported the new one from 2.6.15.  It works great... until I tried to
use KGDBOE with it.  Then I got:

    kgdboe: eth1 doesn't support polling, aborting.

Looking around I see that I need the driver to support the
poll_controller method in the net device, and the new driver doesn't
seem to do that.

I see the old implementation of this method, but of course it uses
interfaces that no longer exist so I can't use that directly.  It seems
like a small change but I'm not really familiar with the implementation
of the ibm_emac driver; does anyone have a patch for the new driver to
provide this feature?


Thanks!
