I just tested this, and it does not work. Jim Lewis is gone until the new year. However, as he was leaving, he grumbled something about how autonegotiation simply won't work on the spider. (I didn't think to ask about the details). Perhaps he'll look at his email soon? I've been trying to figure out how to modify the patch to make it work anyway, but so far, no success. Basically, in genmii_poll_link(), status = phy_read(phy, MII_BMSR); status & BMSR_LSTATUS will always be zero. So I tried ignoring this value, and calling setup_forced() However, this still doesn't get the thing working. I am somewhat at a loss to see why right now, since I don't see what may be causing this. --linas From mboxrd@z Thu Jan 1 00:00:00 1970 From: linas@austin.ibm.com (Linas Vepstas) Subject: Re: [PATCH] drivers/net: spidernet driver on Celleb Date: Tue, 12 Dec 2006 19:14:35 -0600 Message-ID: <20061213011435.GN4329@austin.ibm.com> References: <200612120525.kBC5PpWC009418@toshiba.co.jp> Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Cc: jim@jklewis.com, netdev@vger.kernel.org, linuxppc-dev@ozlabs.org Return-path: Received: from e3.ny.us.ibm.com ([32.97.182.143]:42904 "EHLO e3.ny.us.ibm.com" rhost-flags-OK-OK-OK-OK) by vger.kernel.org with ESMTP id S932263AbWLMBOp (ORCPT ); Tue, 12 Dec 2006 20:14:45 -0500 Received: from d01relay04.pok.ibm.com (d01relay04.pok.ibm.com [9.56.227.236]) by e3.ny.us.ibm.com (8.13.8/8.12.11) with ESMTP id kBD1EaBp010059 for ; Tue, 12 Dec 2006 20:14:36 -0500 Received: from d01av03.pok.ibm.com (d01av03.pok.ibm.com [9.56.224.217]) by d01relay04.pok.ibm.com (8.13.6/8.13.6/NCO v8.1.1) with ESMTP id kBD1EaWM196706 for ; Tue, 12 Dec 2006 20:14:36 -0500 Received: from d01av03.pok.ibm.com (loopback [127.0.0.1]) by d01av03.pok.ibm.com (8.12.11.20060308/8.13.3) with ESMTP id kBD1Eaqt027248 for ; Tue, 12 Dec 2006 20:14:36 -0500 To: Ishizaki Kou Content-Disposition: inline In-Reply-To: <200612120525.kBC5PpWC009418@toshiba.co.jp> Sender: netdev-owner@vger.kernel.org List-Id: netdev.vger.kernel.org On Tue, Dec 12, 2006 at 02:25:50PM +0900, Ishizaki Kou wrote: > > Following are the changes. > -This patch enables auto-negotiation. > -Loading firmware is done when spidernet_open() is called. > -And this patch adds other several small changes for Celleb. > -This patch is not tested on CellBlade.
