The cpci690 is a working platform but it does not use the embedded enet
ctlr because there is no driver.

This is from a very, very old email that is no longer accurate.  It
should be ignored.  This is no tree except the mainline/mm tree and there
is not gt64260 enet driver in the mainline/mm tree (that I know of).
