Hi,

The gianfar driver of 2.6.12 and 2.4.20 give different outputs on the same 
PPC 8540 board.

What could be the reason ? 

Output on 2.4.20 : 
/root # ifconfig eth0 172.28.8.254 up
eth0: PHY is Marvell 88E1011S (1410c62)
eth0: Auto-negotiation done
eth0: Half Duplex
eth0: Speed 10BT
eth0: Link is up

Output on 2.6.12
/ # ifconfig eth0 172.28.8.254 up
 eth0: PHY is Generic MII (ffffffff)

Kernel bootup mesages on 2.6.12 for eth initialisation :
[    1.706436] eth0: Gianfar Ethernet Controller Version 1.1, 
00:01:af:07:9b:8a

[    1.713769] eth0: Running with NAPI disabled
[    1.718137] eth0: 64/64 RX/TX BD ring size
[    1.722483] eth1: Gianfar Ethernet Controller Version 1.1, 
fd:e4:75:9d:72:6f

[    1.729812] eth1: Running with NAPI disabled
[    1.734180] eth1: 64/64 RX/TX BD ring size
[    1.738521] eth2: Gianfar Ethernet Controller Version 1.1, 
6f:74:3d:2f:64:65

[    1.745851] eth2: Running with NAPI disabled
[    1.750218] eth2: 64/64 RX/TX BD ring size

On 2.4.20 it is the same :
eth0: Gianfar Ethernet Controller Version 1.0, 00:01:af:07:9b:8a
eth0: Running with NAPI disabled
eth0: 64/64 RX/TX BD ring size
eth1: Gianfar Ethernet Controller Version 1.0, fd:e4:75:9d:72:6f
eth1: Running with NAPI disabled
eth1: 64/64 RX/TX BD ring size
eth2: Gianfar Ethernet Controller Version 1.0, 6f:74:3d:2f:64:65
eth2: Running with NAPI disabled
eth2: 64/64 RX/TX BD ring size

I am able to ping and use telnet,ftp etc when booted from 2.4.20 but ping, 
telnet,ftp, don't work eventhough i use same ramdisk in both the cases.
ifconfig shows card is up in 2.6.12 too.


Regards,
Prashant

Can you quickly check if you have the right phy id written in your platform file for your board?

	Hi, 
	
	Downloaded 2.6.16.26 and booted up and got this :

	I had enabled all the PHY devices in .config and also tried only with Marvell phy enabled.

	It looks like your 2.6.12 kernel isn't handling the PHY correctly.   
	I'd recommend upgrading to something newer which has the phylib  
	(can't remember which 2.6 that went into).
