Seeq Ethernet

Seeq Ethernet

[ralf]

Hi,

_the_ current problem for Linux/Indy is the Ethernet driver.  Time to fix
it.  Can anybody point me to docs for that chip?  I only have one half of
the required docs, the HPC docs.

Ralf,

I tried to search internally for relevant bits and found this:

	http://www.sgi.com/Support/QNA/FAQ.book_1315.html
	http://www.sgi.com/Support/SCR/incidents/376000/376872.html

I cannot see a spec but the Seeq Tech home page seems to have
all the datasheets (in PDF format only) online:

The HPC docs come with a pretty good description of the Seeq, it is
just kind of hidden in there.

FWIW, the ethernet problems I reported are from an old kernel.  They may
have been patched.

What problems are you seeing?

Exactly what you have reported.  Wiered enough those problems recently
started to trouble me.  In older kernel I didn't see them and the
driver didn't change.  We'll see ...

Talk to Russel King. He has a solid working SEQ800x driver from the ARM port that
knows most of the SEEQ chip bugs. You may want to merge drivers as well
